If a pot catches fire, cover the pot with a lid to smother the flames and turn off the heat.<\/li>\n<li>Install and test smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas of your home. Don&#8217;t forget about carbon monoxide alarms if you have a fuel-burning appliance or attached garage.<\/li>\n<li>Before you put lights on your tree or around windows, check the cords closely. Discard any sets that are frayed or damaged. See more at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafc.on.ca\/holiday-fire-safety\">http:\/\/www.oafc.on.ca\/holiday-fire-safety<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Keep lit candles away from children, pets and things that are flammable, such as curtains, upholstery, or holiday decorations. Blow out candles before leaving the room or going to bed.<\/li>\n<li>Never burn gift wrappings, boxes, cartons, or other types of packing in the fireplace or hang Christmas stockings from the mantel when the fireplace is in use.<\/li>\n<li>Water fresh Christmas trees daily and keep them away from fireplaces, heaters or candles.<\/li>\n<li>Do not overload extension cords. Make sure cords are never placed under rugs or furniture.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure everyone knows how to get out of your home safely if a fire occurs. Develop and practise a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca\/english\/FireMarshal\/FireSafetyandPublicEducation\/PublicFireSafetyInformation\/HomeFireEscapePlanning\/FireEscapePlanning.html\">home escape plan<\/a>with family and holiday guests.<\/li>\n<li>In case of fire, call the fire department from outside the home, from a cellphone or neighbour&#8217;s home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips from the Ontario Fire Marshal to Protect Your Family The holiday season is a festive and joyous occasion to spend time with friends and family &#8211; but before sitting [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":8540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-8539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-breaking"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
