Children are naturally curious. They can suffer severe burns and other injuries and even die when playing with lighters and matches. If you smoke, have only one lighter and keep it with you at all times. #firesafety #childrenplayingwithfire

Trying to improve your cooking skills this #Diwali, but the only thing spicing up is the smoke alarm?
Pub Ed’s @AmanKainth is here to teach us to make fire-safe Tarka. Never take the #SmokeAlarm down. Use the hush feature until the smoke clears. #CookingSafety

Always use an ashtray to butt out cigarettes. Never throw them off your balcony, into bushes or down the garbage chute. This is dangerous and can cause a fire. #FireSafety

#OlderAdults are at higher risk of injury and death from a kitchen fire due to physical, visual, hearing or mental impairments that may slow the quick action necessary in a fire emergency. No one should leave cooking food unattended. #FireSafety #SeniorsMonth

If you rent out your cottage, it's important to keep your renters safe in case of a fire. Make sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms installed and maintained properly. Remember that you have responsibilities under the Ontario Fire Code. #FireSafety

#Ontario's #volunteer #firefighters can use green flashing lights when responding to emergencies in their personal vehicles. So, if you see flashing green lights, please yield the way or pull over to let them pass when it's safe to do so.

Do NOT fly drones within 9 km of a #wildland #fire. You can put the safety of pilots and #FireRangers at risk. It’s dangerous and illegal. For more information visit ontario.ca/page/drones-water…
