Fire Safety Tips

The  Brock Township Fire Department wants the community to be aware of the following important fire safety tips:
  • Both hard-wired and battery operated smoke alarms are required to be replaced once they are 10 years old;
  • Many fatal fires occur at night when everyone is asleep, so early warning from a smoke alarm is crucial to survival;
  • Under Ontario's fire code, a working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm are required outside sleeping areas and on every storey of a home;
  • It is the responsibility of landlords to ensure their rental properties have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms to comply with the law;
  • Alarms should be tested monthly, with batteries changed as least once a year; and,
  • Every family should develop and practice a home fire escape plan.
For further information contact the Fire Department @ 705-432-2355.
