As fall quickly makes way for winter, colder temperatures may have you turning on the furnace, fireplace or portable heater in your home and getting cozy. While you do this, keep in mind that heating equipment is a leading cause of home fires in Ontario. To help ensure you and your family stay safe this winter, Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service is providing important fire safety tips to follow.
In the event of a fire, make sure everyone knows how to get out safely. It’s crucial to develop and practise a home fire escape plan with all members of your household and make sure someone helps young children, older adults or anyone else that may need assistance to evacuate. Once outside, stay there and call 9-1-1.
