Fire Prevention Week
This year's Fire Prevention Week (Oct 4-10) theme, "Hear the Beep where you Sleep" encourages all Edmontonians to install smoke alarms inside each bedroom of their home.
While all homes in Edmonton must have working smoke alarms, fire officials now recommend homeowners increase safety by installing smoke alarms:
- inside every bedroom,
- outside each separate sleeping area, and
- on every level of the home, including the basement.
Smoke alarms can save lives, but only if they are heard. An invaluable component of any residential emergency safety plan is to have working smoke alarms which should be tested once a month and batteries should be changed at least once a year.
Open House Event
To promote Fire Prevention Week, on October 10, 2015, the public is invited to attend Edmonton Fire Rescue Services "Fire Prevention Week" Open Houses at three stations within the city. Edmontonians are welcome to meet their Community Fire Station personnel, learn about fire safety and find out about all the services Edmonton Fire Rescue Services provides to Edmontonians.
Refreshments will be provided by Safeway.
