Ajax Fire and Emergency Services is raising awareness about fire safety.
The campaign runs until Oct. 30 and focuses on educating residents about fire safety and fire-related problems in their communities.
During the campaign, selected households will receive a ‘Get Real Ajax‘ information card in the mail and a door-to-door visit from Ajax firefighters to discuss the reality of fires in the community.
“Ajax Fire and Emergency Services will visit 1,000 homes this fall,” said Shelley Langer, Ajax fire prevention inspector.
The department is reminding residents to:
- change their smoke alarms (every 10 years) with visual indicators/strobes
- review fire evacuation procedures with their families
- review fire safety precautions for the home with the family
- review locations of home alarms and fire extinguishers
