Free Fire Safety Events

In honour of the 100th annual Fire Prevention Week – celebrated this year from October 9-15, the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs (OAFC) is partnering with First Alert – now part of Resideo Technologies, Inc. – and Lowe’s Canada to host free fire safety events at select Lowe’s and RONA stores throughout Ontario.

 

Nepean families are invited to attend the free events, which will include the Ottawa Fire Services, between the hours of 10AM and 2PM on Oct. 29 at the 585 West Hunt Club Rd. RONA’s location. Activities are designed to teach community members about installing smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in their homes, planning and practicing a fire escape plan, and operating a fire extinguisher. To help educate Ontarians, firefighters will host interactive, family-focused activities about home safety, such as planning and practicing emergency escape plans, as well as a fire truck demonstration. Both children and adults will walk away with fun, engaging experiences and various educational materials. Please refer to the press release below my signature.
