Clocks spring ahead March 8, 2020

Don't forget that clocks spring forward this weekend.

When the clocks change, so too should the batteries in your smoke alarms. 

Home fires kill eight Canadians a week.  While these fires represent 40 per cent of all types of fires, they are responsible for 73 per cent of fire deaths. Most of these deaths are preventable by taking a few precautions.

Smoke alarms are required in each residential dwelling unit as follows: at least one outside the bedroom(s) and at least one on each level of your home - including split levels (2015 Ontario Fire Code, Division B Section 2.13).
