Fire Prevention Week runs from Oct. 4-10. It's the perfect time to check smoke alarms as well as create and practice home fire-escape plans. "This year's theme, hear the beep where you sleep, reinforces the importance of being able to hear smoke alarms at night when families are sleeping" said Minister Churchill. http://novascotia.ca/news/release/?id=20151002001

Doug Keefe, a former provincial deputy minister and Alphonse MacNeil, a former RCMP commanding officer, have been appointed to lead the review on fuel supply management in the province. Government announced the review after the recent gas shortage.
