A new place means a fresh start — make sure it's a safe one!

In Ontario, landlords are required to install and maintain smoke alarms outside all sleeping areas and on every storey — and carbon monoxide alarms too, if the home has a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, or attached garage.

As a tenant, your job is to let your landlord know if smoke or carbon monoxide alarms aren’t working.

Not sure how to start the conversation? There are ready-to-send email templates at www.SavedByTheBeep.ca

A new month is a good time for a quick FireSmart check around your home. 🏡

Walk the 30 metres around your house and look for places where embers could collect or combustible materials are stored. Start closest to the home, then work your way outward, one manageable action at a time.

Use the FireSmart Home Ignition Zone Self-Assessment to find your best place to begin: https://ow.ly/RtCP50ZIl0C
