As a building owner you are responsible for ensuring closures in fire separations are maintained so they close and latch flush with the frame. If it does not, you are required to have it repaired or replaced.

It doesn't make a sound, doesn't have a smell, doesn't have a taste, and can kill you...Sounds bad right? That is the description of Carbon Monoxide...Test the only thing that can protect you from it.

If we told you there was a device available that would save your life from something your cannot hear, see, or smell, would you purchase it? The answer is yes...That "device" is a Carbon Monoxide Alarm. Install one outside of all sleeping areas today.

Having a working CO alarm that is less than 10 years old can save you and your families lives. Ensure they are placed properly on all floors outside of sleeping areas. #COAwarenessWeek

If you make the decision to use real candles for your #Halloween decorations tonight, please ensure they are kept out of reach of children and pets, and also completely out before you go to sleep.

Getting the kids costumes ready for #TrickOrTreating? Please make sure they have something that will make them visible as they are walking around in the evening.

It's that time of year when the #Halloween decorations are coming out. Please make the switch to LED candles.

If a fire happened in your home today, would you get out before it's too late? Ensure you have working and in date smoke alarms, as well as a plan to escape.

We would like to remind everyone to never sleep with your phone or tablet charging underneath your pillows.

It is getting chilly overnight, please ensure portable space heaters are always plugged directly into wall outlets and kept clear of anything combustible.

Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail. For more info: fpw.org. #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety
