St. Catharines Fire Services

Your home escape plan should apply to both your smoke & CO alarms sounding - exit and get to your pre-arranged meeting site. It's an emergency... practise before it becomes critical!! @St_Catharines @IAFF485

Test your CO and Smoke alarms monthly to ensure they are operating properly and replace them according to the date identified on the outside of the device. youtube.com/watch?v=nor02uUG… @St_Catharines @IAFF485

Don't buy your smoke or CO alarms unless they have been approved by an official testing agency - they may be cheaper but there is no guarantee they will work when you need them the most. @St_Catharines @IAFF485

DYK that the law for carbon monoxide alarms changed in January 2026? 🚨NEW🚨You must have CO alarms on every storey of your home if you have any type of gas appliance, a fireplace, or an attached garage. @St_Catharines @IAFF485

DYK that your gas appliances should be inspected annually by a licensed technician to ensure they are working properly youtube.com/watch?v=XwMUSd6y… @St_Catharines @IAFF485
