Ottawa – Ottawa Fire Services (OFS) firefighters will be out in the community from September 12 to 19 encouraging residents to install, test and ensure that smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms in their homes are present and in working condition.
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 and only selected areas will be visited. If no one is home when OFS comes calling, fire safety information will be left in the mailbox.
Homeowners who need new or additional alarms will be given information on how to acquire one. Homeowners who do not have any working smoke alarms may have one immediately installed for them, or be provided with new batteries
This is the second of two eight-day blitzes OFS planned for 2016 as part of its annual Wake Up! campaign. The first blitz successively took place in June.
The Ontario Fire Code requires homes to have a working smoke alarm on each floor and outside each sleeping area. Carbon monoxide alarms are required outside sleeping areas if the home has an attached garage or a fuel fired appliance.
Firefighters visit Ottawa homes in this manner each spring and fall and have been doing so since the Wake Up! program began in 2005. For more information visit ottawa.ca.
For more information on City programs and services, visit ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1 (TTY: 613-580-2401). You can also connect with us through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
