Fire safety begins at home

The best way to fight a fire is to prevent one from starting in the first place. If a fire does start in your home, having plans in place beforehand will help keep you and your family safe. 

Inside your home

• home fire escape plan
• kitchen safety
• bedroom safety
• basement safety
• electrical safety
• smoke alarms
• carbon monoxide

Outside your home

• fire pit safety
• barbecue safety
• outdoor burning (for rural residents)
• in your yard
• smoking
• cool your ashes before putting them in your cart
• fire hydrant in front of your property
• protect your property with FireSmart

Presentations

• fire prevention and preparation presentations

Emergency Services staff can come to your home and test smoke alarms and provide further fire safety assistance if requested.
