Ontario’s Fire Marshal, John Pegg, is hoping everyone will make Fire Safety a Holiday Tradition, and our local Fire Chiefs echo that sentiment.
Jeff Crawford, Chief of the Arnprior Fire Department says stay in the kitchen when cooking.
If you must leave, turn off the stove.
Blow out candles before leaving the room.
If you’re putting up a fresh Christmas tree, keep the base of the trunk in water at all times.
Unplug the lights at night.
Make sure everyone knows two ways to get out of your home.
Your family may have an escape plan- make certain holiday guest know about it too, including where to meet up outside if you have to.
Have a safe and fire-free holiday season from everyone at the Arnprior Fire Department.
