It is important residents have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms outside all sleeping areas and on every storey of the home. Smoke alarms increase your chance of surviving a fire in your home. Carbon monoxide alarms will make you aware of the presence of the dangerous gas. Test your alarms monthly and know the sound of your carbon monoxide and smoke alarms; they are different.
The Huntsville/Lake of Bays Fire Department would like to remind residents that if they have any questions relating to Smoke or Carbon Monoxide alarms to please contact the fire station at 705-789-5201.
If your alarm sounds, go outside and call 9-1-1.
