the air. They can detect both smoldering and burning res. At least one smoke detector

should be installed on every level of a struc-ture. Purchase smoke detectors labeled by the

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM)

Prevention Week

October 9-15, 2011

Since my office is next to the fire sta-tion I often hear the fire trucks leaving the station. It occurs a lot more than I would have imagined years ago. Also, with more traffic there are more accidents and they are often involved in case of rescue. This year has already been a far busier one than normal because of the flood situation. For many consecutive days our fore fight-ers were risking their lives and health to boat our employees to the water treatment plant so we could keep providing potable water. Since most of our fire fighters are

volunteer this put a lot of strain on the companies they work for so I need to thank the companies who are great corporate businesses by their employees to serve our city through the Fire Department. Thanks also goes out to Chief Ron Tocker and Deputy Chief Dale Feser for their com-mitment and leadership to our city. The next time you see one of our fire fighters please let them know how much they are appreciated. We are certainly thankful of the great job they do.

Fire Prevention WeekOctober 9 - 15, 2011

All smoke alarms are not the same.

Photoelectric smoke alarms are a good choice near kitchens. Their sensors are best at detecting slow smouldering fires so you will have fewer false alarms when you burn the toast.

I on i za t i on smoke alarms are a good choice for general living areas, as

they are best at detecting fast-fl aming fi res.

Fire departments say that having both types of alarms installed in your home provides the best protection. More informa-tion on the different types of smoke alarms and other fi re safety tips can be found online at www.safeathome.ca.
