Fire Prevention Week - October 6-12, 2024
Fire Prevention Week - October 6-12, 2024

Fire Prevention Week - October 6-12, 2024

As Fire Prevention Week 2024 begins, the Town of Petawawa Fire Department issues an urgent call to action: ensure every home has working smoke alarms. With fire-related fatalities remaining at a high level since 2020, this year's theme, "Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work for You!™," serves as a critical reminder that lives depend on it.

Following the success of last month's "Test Your Smoke Alarm Day," the Town of Petawawa Fire Department encourages residents to make fire safety a year-round habit. The reality is that most deadly fires happen in homes without working smoke alarms. It’s the law in Ontario to have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas—don’t wait until it’s too late.

Residents should take the following actions to ensure their family's safety:

  • Install smoke alarms outside each sleeping area, and on every storey of the home, including the basement.
  • Test smoke alarms monthly by pressing the test button.
  • Replace smoke alarm batteries at least once a year.
  • Replace any alarm that is over 10 years old or does not respond during testing.
  • Practice a home fire escape plan regularly to ensure everyone knows how to evacuate safely in an emergency.

"Working smoke alarms provide the early warning needed to escape a fire safely," said Petawawa's Acting Fire Chief Craig Proulx. "Ensuring they are working can prevent tragedies and save lives."

Most deadly fires happen at night when families are asleep. In many cases, victims never wake up. A working smoke alarm may be the only thing standing between you and tragedy.

Ontarians are reminded that having working smoke alarms on every storey of your home, along with a well-practiced home fire escape plan, is the best way to ensure your entire household is prepared to escape a fire in your home safely. 

QUOTES

“Every working smoke alarm is a potential lifesaver. In a fire, seconds matter, and the early warning provided by these devices can be the difference between life and death.”
Jon Pegg, Ontario Fire Marshal

“In too many cases, we’ve seen lives lost that could have been saved by something as simple as a working smoke alarm. It’s a small device with the power to prevent unimaginable loss.”

Petawawa Accessibility Advisory Committee
Petawawa Accessibility Advisory Committee Presents
TREAT ACCESSIBLY

treat accessibly sign, happy pumpkin, 2024 trick or treating

The Petawawa Accessibility Advisory Committee is thrilled to support Treat Accessibly in 2024! This spooky initiative encourages homeowners to create a Halloween that's fun for everyone, regardless of ability. With over 400,000 Canadian kids facing challenges while trick-or-treating, let's join together to remove barriers and ensure that all little ghosts and goblins can enjoy the magic of Halloween!

What Can You Do?

Help create a spook-tacular and accessible Halloween for everyone! You can make a difference by distributing candy from an obstacle-free location on your property, like the foot of your driveway, so all trick-or-treaters can easily access treats.

Be sure to display the FREE Treat Accessibly lawn sign in advance of Halloween, available at Town Hall. This sign not only shows your commitment to inclusive trick-or-treating but also lets families know they are welcome to experience Halloween without barriers at your home.

Want to make your street part of the spook-tacular Treat Map? Contact Kate Bennett (details below) to add your street and help families and caregivers plan their fang-tastic, accessible trick-or-treating adventure! The Treat Map will be posted the week of Halloween—don’t miss out on the frightful fun!

Join Us for a Spook-tacular Halloween!

On Halloween night, from 5 PM to 7 PM, come celebrate with us! Members of the Accessibility Advisory Committee and the Petawawa Fire Prevention Team will be handing out treats from their accessible, barrier-free locations at each fire station (23 Schwanz Road and 1111 Victoria Street).

Get ready for a frightfully fun evening as Sparky the Fire Dog plans to visit both stations, ready to greet all the little ghosts and ghouls! Snap some photos with Sparky, chat with your Accessibility Advisory members and local firefighters, and, of course, grab some delicious treats!

All you need to do is take a few simple steps and you'll be set up with a trick-or-treating station that every child can enjoy.

Provide Barrier-free Access          

Some trick-or-treaters may have difficulties navigating inclines, stairs, curving walkways, etc.  Make sure to place your trick-or-treating station at a location that is easily accessible to all.                

  • Make sure the path to your trick-or-treating station is well lit.
  • Clear your driveway and pathways of any obstacles.
  • Park your vehicle on the street or in your garage to allow easy access.
  • Set up your trick-or-treating station at the end of your driveway or in your garage.

If your home doesn't have a driveway why don't you use your vehicle to trunk-or-treat?  Show your creativity and decorate your vehicle to make it extra special.
