Unfortunately, in some of these
instances the valiant rescue efforts
also resulted in the firefighters
being injured — sometimes
seriously. These situations may
have had different outcomes had
working smoke alarms been in
place.
First priority must be given to
preventing fires from happening in
the first place. In the event that fire
does occur, a working smoke alarm
on every level of your home will
alert you and your family and can

fire. If you do not have smoke

they work. Developing and
practising a home escape plan will
help to ensure that everyone knows
what to do when the alarm sounds.
Remember, fire can strike
quickly and when you least expect
it. You may only have a few
minutes to escape. It is your
responsibility to make sure you
have working smoke alarms in your
home — and it's the law. A small
investment in fire safety can make
a big difference to you, your family
and our firefighters. •
Yours truly,
Bernard A. Moyle
Fire Marshall of Ontario.
