FRIDAY FIRE FACT
Did you know that a fire doesn’t always have to start inside your building to become your problem?
A fire can start outside from things like rubbish, vehicles, electrical equipment, storage areas or even a neighbouring property — and quickly spread towards your building.
That’s why fire safety isn’t only about what’s happening inside your premises.
What’s happening around your building can play a major role in how quickly a fire spreads.
This Friday, take a few minutes to check:
✔️ Combustible storage
✔️ Vegetation and landscaping
✔️ Waste and dumpsters
✔️ Access to electrical equipment and fire hydrants
Keeping these areas clear and well maintained can help reduce fire risk and prevent a fire from reaching your building.
Don’t just look inside. Look around.
