40 years ago, you had approximately 17 minutes to escape a fire after the activation of a smoke alarm. Now that number is 3 minutes or less! A closed-door can slow the spread of fire, reduce toxic smoke levels, improve oxygen levels, and decrease temperatures dramatically. Closing your bedroom door and having working smoke alarms, could save your life! #closebeforeyoudoze #firesafety

Earlier today, St. Clair Fire responded to a structure fire on Fawn Island. Firefighters from Port Lambton, Wilkesport and Becher station arrived on scene and immediately commenced an offensive fire attack. The fire was extinguished without incident or injury. The cause of this fire has been deemed accidental. The occupants had self-evacuated and called 9-1-1. The home was equipped with working smoke alarms. St. Clair Fire would like to remind everyone that early detection a...nd warning by smoke alarms provide you with more time to escape a fire. In addition to smoke alarms, developing and practicing a home fire escape plan is your best chance of surviving a fire in your home. Thank you to the residents of Fawn Island for your support during this incident.

What do all of these smoke alarms have in common? They are all expired! Both hard-wired and battery-operated smoke alarms do expire. Generally, this "end of life" timeframe is 10 years but always refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

Today, St. Clair Fire is at Corunna Home Hardware until 11:30 and then Foodland in Port Lambton from 12 - 1:30 providing fire safety education. Drop by and see us! Special thanks to the owners of Port Lambton Foodland and Corunna Home Hardware. #firesafety
