Fire deaths in Ontario soared to near-record levels during the first year of the pandemic, spiking in the coldest stretch of this winter to levels not seen in more than 20 years. In the aftermath, investigators have noticed a worrisome trend: no working smoke alarms, mandatory in Ontario for almost 50 years, in about one-third of the deadly fires. #workingsmokealarmssavelives #firesafety #gsmfireprotection

Two major fires today. Hoping everyone is okay. Remember to test your smoke alarms and discuss your escape plan at dinner at least once a month. #staysafe #firesafety #safetyfirst #smokealarms #gsmfireprotection

Sadly the electrical fire that started in the dining room ceiling claimed 4 lives. Smoke alarms were not operational. As the clocks spring forward this week make sure your smoke alarms are in good working order and the batteries are replaced. #springforward #timechange #smokealarms #fire #smoke #battery #change #safety #safetyfirst #gsmfireprotection

The state of Maryland saw a 22 percent decline in fire-related deaths for 2020 compared to 65 deaths reported in 2019. This is due to Maryland requiring old smoke alarms to be replaced with ones that contain 10-year batteries and legislation requiring residential sprinklers in new builds. #maryland #fireprotectionsaveslives #fireprevention #lifesafety #safetyfirst #legislation #codes #nfpa #standards #buildingcode #firecode #gsmfireprotection #firefighting #fire #firefighter #smokealarms

When using a Fire Extinguisher remember the PASS Method. Always make sure everyone has left the home/building before you attempt to put out the fire, you’re confident in your ability to put out the fire, trained to use the extinguisher and have a clear exit path to leave if the fire gets too large. #fireextinguisher #firesafety #homesafety #fireprevention #safetyfirst #cooking #fires #homefires #firefighting #passmethod #realestate #buildings #maintenance #inspections #firecode #buildingcodes
