This week from October 8 to October 14, 2017, marks Fire
Prevention week across Canada. This year's theme is
"Every Second Counts : Plan 2 Ways
Out!"
Do you have a fire safety plan for your home? If you have a
fire, how will you get out safely? How will you get your loved ones
out? Where will you meet to make sure everyone is accounted for?
What steps have you taken to prevent fires from occurring or
spreading in your home?
Chances are if you are like most Ontarians you may not have a
quick answer to these questions. Fire Prevention week offers an
opportunity to practice fire safety and protect your family and
your home.
In Ontario, fire safety planning is mandatory for all workplaces
and mandatory for many types of buildings. However, the Ontario
Fire Code does not mandate that all residences have a plan.
Nonetheless, protecting your home and your loved ones should make
setting up a plan an easy decision.
