Safety awareness campaign focuses on carbon monoxide legislation

May 20, 2015   ·   0 Comments

Caledon Fire and Emergency Services is expanding the Home Safe Home Door to Door Program again this year to include the entire Caledon community.
Don’t be alarmed if you see fire crews pull up to your house and a firefighter approach your door. Chances are there isn’t an emergency, but rather firefighters spreading the word on how to ensure you never have one.
“The Town of Caledon supports the principle of ‘prevention rather than cure;’ taking a proactive approach to fire and life safety,” said Fire Chief Dave Forfar. “We believe education is a key component of home safety and over the next several months, our firefighters will be delivering the message of being proactive rather than reactive.”
Beginning May 15, and running through to Oct. 9, Caledon firefighters will be visiting homes throughout Caledon weekdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and weekends from 1 to 3:30 p.m.
Through the Home Safe Home public education campaign, residents will have the opportunity to ask firefighters questions. The focus of the safety campaign this year will be to educate home owners on the new carbon monoxide legislation and to ensure their family is safe from this “silent killer.”
