You’ve asked and we’ve got the answer.
A lot of people are wondering:
“Do I really need a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm on every floor starting January 1?”
Answer: Yes, you do.

Ontario’s updated rule requires CO alarms adjacent to each sleeping area and on each storey of your home if your home has:
✔ a fuel burning appliance
✔ a fireplace
✔ an attached garage
✔ heated air from a fuel burning appliance that is located outside of the home

Why the change?
These changes help keep families safer, especially during winter when CO risks rise.
Stay informed. Stay protected.

Take a minute today to understand the new CO alarm rules: Ontario.ca/COSafety.

🎄🚒 **Hickson Firefighters’ Association: Holiday Safety Alert!** 🚒🎄

The holiday season is here, and so is the joy of decorating your Christmas tree! 🎉 But, did you know that keeping your tree properly watered is essential for fire safety? A dry tree can become a fire hazard in seconds! 🌲🔥

We encourage everyone to take a moment to check your tree and ensure it’s getting enough water. Not only will it keep your tree looking fresh, but it’s a crucial step in preventing fires during this festive season.

👉✨ **Watch the video below to see just how quickly a non-watered tree can catch fire and the importance of keeping your tree hydrated!** Stay safe and enjoy the holidays! 🎁❤️

🚨❄️ **Winter Safety Reminder!** ❄️🚨

As the snow falls and temperatures drop, don’t forget to check your furnace vent pipes!

**🚪 Keep them clear of ice and snow!**

Blocked vents can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide buildup. 🔥 Safety first – ensure your home is properly ventilated!

Stay warm and safe this winter! ☃️💙
