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!
