First Alert Canada has generously donated 300 smoke alarms to three organizations that all help serve and support vulnerable communities: ABRIGO Centre, Davenport Perth Neighbourhood & Community Health Centre and West Neighbourhood House. The goal is to ensure that these vulnerable communities have working smoke alarms and have access to important fire safety information and other necessary resources. First Alert Canada's contribution comes at a perfect time during National F...ire Prevention Week, which commenced on Sunday October 4th. This year, Fire Prevention Week (October 4 to 10, 2020) aims to educate people about the simple but important things they can do to keep themselves and those around them safe from fire in their kitchens and homes. Additionally, this important week reinforces the essential need to have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms along with home escape planning. #firepreventionweek #serveupfiresafetyinthekitchen Toronto.ca/fire. @firstalertca @anabailaoto @chiefpeggtfs @abrigocentre See more

If a small grease fire starts in your pan, smother the flames by sliding the lid over the pan. If you don’t have a lid that fits the pot or pan you are cooking with, you can use a baking tray instead. To keep the fire from restarting, leave the pan covered until it has cooled and turn off the stoves burner. Remember do not move the pan, it can be very hot. In case of a fire starting inside your oven, turn the heat off and keep the oven door closed until the fire goes out. ...Opening the oven door can allow oxygen to enter and the fire will grow. So keep that door shut. Pouring water over a grease fire will not extinguish the fire and can cause the fire to spread. Never pour water on a grease fire. When in doubt, just get out! Get outside and call 911. Your safety is most important. To prevent these fires from happening, remember to always look while you cook. Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, boiling or broiling and turn off the burners if you have to leave the kitchen. If you are simmering, baking or roasting food, check it regularly and stay in your home. Use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. Remember these tips so you can serve up fire safety in your kitchen.
