Buy your smoke and CO alarms from legitimate retailers. Look for the proper mark on the back of the alarm to ensure they will operate correctly in an emergency. #FireSafeSTC @St_Catharines @firefighters_st

We have seen an increase in smoke alarms from online sellers that are not approved for use in Canada. This means we are unsure if they will operate and notify you properly if there is a fire. #FireSafeSTC @St_Catharines @firefighters_st

Recruits practicing their donning and doffing drills ensure our firefighters are ready to respond quickly to emergencies. ⁦@St_Catharines⁩ ⁦@firefighters_st⁩ #FireSafeSTC

Tips from @STCFireServices - 1) Every second counts in an emergency. Be a #HydrantHero - please clear snow from around hydrants so our Firefighters can quickly access them. 2) Remember to clear snow from your furnace vent and to have a carbon monoxide alarm on every floor.
