The Fire Prevention branch provides knowledge and education to help residents and businesses live and work safe from fire. Public education plays a vital role in preventing fires and the Fire Prevention team provides support in the following areas.
Home fire safety |
|
The Fire Prevention branch shares tips and information to keep you and your family safe from fires. One initiative to support fire safety is the home fire safety program, which offers free smoke alarm installation for residents. Information on this program is shared seasonally. |
Presentations and tours |
|
Regional Emergency Services offers the opportunity to schedule fire safety presentations, training and tours to a variety of groups. For more information contact Pulse. |
After a fire |
|
The Fire Prevention branch helps those impacted by fire. As part of our commitment to the residents in our region, the following information is intended as a guide for victims of fire and may not necessarily relate to your specific needs. Recovering from a fire can be a challenging process for those impacted. Often, the hardest part is knowing the initial steps to take, and who to contact throughout the early recovery period. The “After the Fire” guide was designed to assist you in dealing with some of the common issues associated with confusion and lack of information, immediately after a fire. |
Fire prevention week |
|
Each year the Fire Prevention team recognizes Fire Prevention Week through various public education opportunities. More information will be shared closer to the date of Fire Prevention Week. Fire Prevention Week 2020 takes place October 4-10. Learn more about Fire Prevention Week by visiting the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) website. |
