Fire Safety Tips: Did you know? Cooking is the number one cause of fires in Ontario, causing a third of fire related injuries. In the event of an emergency, working smoke alarms and a home escape plan can save lives. Residential fires burn quickly, and normal escape routes can be compromised in an emergency. Remember to plan and practice your escape routes (two per room) and designate a safe meeting spot outside of your home. In the moment, focus on getting yourself, and others, out of the home and then call 9-1-1 from your meeting place. For information on fire prevention and fire safety, visit cyfs.ca
