🔥❄️ Heating Safety Reminder! As temperatures drop, keep your home safe: keep flammables 3 ft from heat sources, never use your oven or stove to heat your home, and get furnaces & chimneys professionally #WinterReady #notlfire #fireprevention #notl

After a significant snowfall, we ask and remind residents to help clear a 1-metre space around #fire #hydrants. Every second counts and #firefighters need to be able to clearly see and access fire hydrants in an emergency! #commitment #teamwork #community

After a big snowfall, don’t forget to check your furnace exhaust! ❄️ Blocked vents can cause your system to shut down — or even create dangerous carbon monoxide buildup. A quick 1-minute check can keep your home warm and safe. Stay cozy out there!

❄️🚒 As we are in the winter months, please clear a 1‑metre space around fire hydrants. Every second counts — firefighters need quick access during emergencies. #notlfire #fireprevention #notl #WinterSafety

📱🌨️ Be #WinterReady! Review your family emergency plan, prepare emergency kits, and ensure flashlights, batteries & backup chargers are ready. Follow official alerts — preparation saves lives. #WinterReady #notlfire #fireprevention #notl
