Sleepovers are all about fun, friends, and making memories, but before your child spends the night away from home, take a few minutes to check on fire safety.
Ask these important questions before drop-off:
Are smoke and carbon monoxide alarms working on every storey and outside sleeping areas?
Does the room have two ways out, such as a door and a window?
Does the family have a home fire escape plan and meeting place?
Does everyone know what to do if an alarm sounds?
A quick conversation with the host parent can help everyone stay safe while the kids enjoy their sleepover.
The best sleepover memories are the ones that end with everyone waking up safely.

See green flashing lights while driving? Give the vehicle space. 💚🚗➡️🚒
In Ontario, it means a volunteer firefighter is responding to an emergency call in their personal vehicle. Every second counts.
Signal, slow down and pull over safely to let them pass.

Spring cleaning?
Make fire safety part of the refresh! 🧹
1. Clear clutter inside and out. Obstacles can interfere with a safe home fire escape plan.
2. Clean dryer vents and hoses. Blocked vents can lead to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
3. Test smoke and CO alarms and replace them if they are more than 10 years old.
Small checks can prevent big mistakes. #SpringCleaning
Lots a snow over the past few days. While you’re shovelling your driveway don’t forget to clear out your vents for your heating system. Blocked vents can cause dangerous Carbon Monoxide (CO) to build up in your home.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is often referred to as “The Silent Killer”: you can’t smell it, see it or taste it. Visit cosafety.ca learn more about how to keep safe from CO.

You Need Both.
· Have all fuel-burning appliances inspected annually through the services of a TSSA-registered fuels contractor.
· Have working, certified CO alarms installed in your home, regularly test them, change batteries, and replace unit per manufacturer’s instruction.
Effective January 1, 2026 new Ontario Fire Code rules kick into gear for all homes and residential units that have a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, or attached garage. You must have a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm:
- near each sleeping area.
- each floor without a sleeping area
It's not just your furnace. Many Ontario households can have between 4-6 fuel-burning appliances that produce carbon monoxide (CO). Visit cosafety.ca to learn more about how to keep safe from CO.
