You can smell and taste a delicious meal, but carbon monoxide (CO) is odourless, tasteless and deadly.
Misusing gas stoves can produce dangerous amounts of CO, so it’s important to have a CO alarm installed nearby and always use your stove in a well-ventilated space.

Recently, our Fire Prevention team joined fire investigation training with @ONFireMarshal Fire Investigator Jill Carter. Understanding how and why fires start helps us identify community risks, fire cause determination and education to prevent future fires. 🔥🚒 #FirePrevention

⚡Not all batteries are created equal.
Cheap, uncertified batteries and chargers can increase the risk of fire.
✔ Buy certified batteries and devices
✔ Use the correct charger
✔ Stop using batteries that are swollen, damaged or overheating

Need a new charger or cable? 🔌🔋
Just because a replacement fits doesn’t mean it’s made for your device.
Check the manufacturer’s instructions and use a recommended or original replacement. Off-brand charging cables can increase the risk of fire. 🔥

Today, members of Burlington Fire attended the Ontario Fallen Firefighters Memorial at Queen’s Park to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
This year, two Burlington Firefighters were among the 83 names added to the Memorial Wall.
We honour their service and sacrifice, and recognize the families, friends and fellow firefighters who carry their memory forward.
We will never forget.

This #NationalSeniorsDay, help keep a senior family member in your life fire safe. ❤️
Take a few minutes to test the smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in their home and make sure they’re working properly.
Smoke and CO alarms don’t last forever. Replace alarms every 10 years, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and make sure working alarms are installed on every floor and outside sleeping areas.
A few minutes spent checking their alarms can help make sure someone you love has the warning they need in an emergency. 🏠🔥
