Do you know where batteries should go? Hint – it is not in the garbage or recycling cart.
Improperly stored or disposed batteries can spark fires in homes, garbage trucks and recycling facilities.
Before recycling batteries:
✅ Store them in a cool, dry place
✅ Keep them away from metal objects
✅ Tape the terminals of 9-volt and lithium-ion batteries
✅ Drop them off at an approved recycling location

Is your home prepared for a small fire? Every home should have at least one fire extinguisher that is easy to access.
Take a moment to:
✅ Check that your extinguisher is in good condition
✅ Learn how to use it before an emergency happens

Fire extinguishers can help control a small fire. But if a fire is spreading or producing smoke, leave immediately and call 911 from a safe location.

🏠 Could everyone in your home get out safely in an emergency? A home escape plan helps everyone know what to do in an emergency. Fire Prevention week is a great time to make and practice a home escape plan with everyone in your household.
✅ Know two ways out of every room, when possible
✅ Choose a safe outdoor meeting place
✅ Plan how to help anyone who may need assistance
✅ Put your plan to the test with a family fire drill

Remember: Get out, stay out and call 911 from a safe location.

When did you last test your smoke alarms? Working smoke alarms provide an early warning when a fire occurs, giving everyone valuable time to get outside safely.
It only takes a few minutes to see if your smoke alarms are working!
✅ Test every smoke alarm in your home
✅ Ask everyone in your household if they recognize the sound
✅ Replace batteries as needed or according to the manufacturer’s instructions
✅ Check each alarm’s age. Smoke alarms generally need replacing every 10 years
✅ Confirm alarms are installed on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas

Crews are on scene of a house fire in the 600 block of Coopers Drive SW.

On arrival crews found an exterior fire that had extended up into the attic of the house. The fire was quickly brought under control and crews remain on scene currently working on hot spots.

Two adults were home at the time and got out safely. No injuries to occupants or responders have been reported.

Coopers Drive is shut down between Coopers Crossing Gate and Coopers Hill.

Today, we had the privilege of honouring a legacy of service at Airdrie Fire.

Former volunteer firefighter Martin Durocher, Mayor Heather Spearman and AFD staff were joined by recruits from the current training class to honour Marguerite Gibeau, a former volunteer emergency phone dispatcher whose service helped support emergency response in Airdrie in the 1970s and 1980s.

During the gathering, Marguerite was presented with two commemorative coins: a challenge coin from Martin Durocher and a coin from Chief Mike Pirie on behalf of Airdrie Fire Department. The presentation created an opportunity to celebrate Marguerite’s works as a volunteer phone operator who would answer the emergency calls and share the information to the volunteer fire fighters. Prior to having 911 in Airdrie, these calls went directly to home phones. While we have come a long way from this response, Marguerite's dedication helped shape Airdrie’s emergency services to what we see today.

On behalf of Airdrie Fire Department, thank you, Marguerite, for your service.
