The number is too high for Ontario's new Fire Marshal and he is urging families to practise their home fire escape plans and ensure all smoke alarms are working. Simple steps for home fire escape planning include: Develop a home fire escape plan and discuss it with the entire household. Show everyone two ways out of each room, if possible. Check that all exits are unob- structed and easy to use. 65 Main St. E., Grand Bend 238-8540 FREE PRESCRIPTION DELIVERY Get Rid of It with the classifieds!
