Ottawa – Ottawa Fire Services (OFS) firefighters will be out in the community during the first week of June to encourage residents to install, test and ensure that smoke alarms in their homes are operating.
This will be the first of two eight-day blitzes OFS had planned for 2014 as part of its annual Wake Up! campaign. The second blitz is to take place in September.
During this period, homes throughout the city will receive visits from firefighters. The Ontario Fire Code requires homes to have a working smoke alarm on each floor.
Homeowners who need new or additional smoke alarms will be given information on how to acquire an alarm rebate through the website safetathome.ca. Homeowners who do not have any working smoke alarms may have one immediately installed for them, or be provided with new batteries.
Visits will take place between 6 and 8 p.m. on weekdays and between 2 and 4 p.m. on weekends. Firefighters will be in uniform and residents are not obligated to provide them access to their home. This is a courtesy call only.
Subdivisions built in the last five years are less likely to receive visits. If no one is home when OFS comes calling, fire safety information will be left in the mailbox.
Firefighters visit Ottawa homes in this manner year round and have been doing so since the Wake Up! program began in 2005. For more information about smoke alarms and Ottawa Fire Services, visit ottawa.ca.
