Prevention Week.

Fire is FAST! In less than 30 seconds, a small flame can turn into a major fire.

Test your smoke alarms monthly and check the expiry date to ensure your smoke alarm is in good working order.

#FirePreventionWeek2021

For the home, select a multi-purpose extinguisher (can be used on all types of home fires) that is large enough to put out a small fire, but not so heavy as to be difficult to handle. #FirePreventionWeek

When was it last tested?

Test your smoke alarms EVERY MONTH!
