What's your expiry date? Age matters when it comes to #SmokeAlarms. Look at the back of the smoke alarm for the manufacture date. Replace alarm(s) older than ten years with new units. #FireSafety

#DYK A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire – and could make a life-saving difference in your home. Make closing the bedroom door part of your nightly routine before sleep. #CloseBeforeYouDoze

Holiday Safety Tip: Inspect holiday lights each year before you put them on your tree or around your home. Throw away light strands with frayed or pinched wires. For more winter holiday safety: nfpa.social/tPbn50LQg7n #deckthehalls #christmasdecorating #holidaysafety

🚌School buses are back, have your full attention on the road. Ontario has implemented new regulations for school buses? New amber lights🟠 will warn motorists that the school bus is preparing to stop ahead. Let's keep our children safe this school year. ^sd #EssexCtyOPP

#OnThisDay – September 1, 1980 Terry ran his last mile of the Marathon of Hope. In intense pain Terry asked Doug to take him to the hospital. Terry later called his parents and told them his cancer had returned. Continue Terry's dream on September 18: run.terryfox.ca

10 Years Ago…"Call Me Maybe" was your jam and you installed new smoke alarms. Don't think 'maybe' about installing smoke alarms again. Replace smoke alarms after 10 years of service.

Like that jar of pickles in the back of your refrigerator, smoke alarms have expiry dates. If yours were manufactured before August 1, 2012, they need to be replaced! #FireSafety

Here's an alarming (no pun intended) stat: In Canada, at least 1 in 7 unintentional residential fire-related deaths occurred in residences without a working smoke alarm. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and change batteries immediately if needed. #fireSafety

As e-bikes grow in popularity, so are reports of fires caused by the lithium-ion batteries they use. These #batteries can overheat, catch fire or explode if not handled safely. Follow these tips below on using, charging, and storing Li-ion batteries. #firesafety #Lithium

Fire Doesn't Take a Vacation. When closing your cottage or cabin, make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are working. Remember to replace worn-out alarms and batteries. Test them monthly. #FireSafety

Most fires takes less than 30 seconds to get out of control. Have a clear and well-practiced escape plan. A few seconds can be the difference between life and death. #fireSafety #HomeFireEscape
