Fire Prevention Week Tip:

When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray
table.

Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane.

If a battery overheats or fails, it is important for the flight crew to be able to respond quickly.

πŸš’ Fill the Boot is Back This Saturday! πŸš’

Members of the Mississippi Mills Fire Department will be out on Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. collecting donations in support of Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s Fill the Boot campaign.

πŸ“ Look for us on Ottawa Street (near the intersection of Ottawa Street and George Street) and help us fill the boot!

For more than 70 years, firefighters across Canada have partnered with Muscular Dystrophy Canada to help fund research, provide access to life-changing equipment, support advocacy efforts, and assist Canadians living with neuromuscular disorders and their families.

Every donation makes a difference, and we greatly appreciate the support of our community. If you're out and about Saturday morning, be sure to stop by, say hello, and help us ! πŸ‘’

Fire Prevention Week Tip:

Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible.

Do not block exits when charging.

These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail.

πŸ‰ πŸ”₯ No Dragons for Tea... Just Fire Safety Lessons! πŸ”₯ πŸ‰

This morning marked the final stop on our Fire Prevention Week classroom tour, reaching every Junior and Senior Kindergarten student in Mississippi Mills.

Over the past several weeks, Sparky and members of the Mississippi Mills Fire Department visited 11 classrooms at Naismith Memorial Public School - UCDSB, R. Tait McKenzie Public School - UCDSB, Holy Name of Mary Catholic School, and Pakenham Public School - UCDSB, reaching a total of 305 students. Together, we shared important fire safety lessons through a reading of 'No Dragons for Tea' by Jean E. Pendziwol and plenty of interactive discussions and activities.

During the presentations, students learned about the importance of smoke alarms, what to do if they discover a fire, why it's important to Get Outside and Stay Outside, having a family meeting place, and how firefighters wear special protective equipment to help keep them safe. We also practiced Stop, Drop and Roll and reinforced the message that firefighters are there to help and should never be hidden from during an emergency.

A big thank you to the students, teachers, and school staff who welcomed us into their classrooms. We hope everyone enjoyed meeting Sparky and learning how to stay fire safe at home and at school. Remember to talk with your family about your home escape plan! 🐾

Fire Prevention Week Tip:

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke.

If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire.

A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.

Fire Prevention Week Tip:

Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor.

Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat.
