Your home may be warning you about an electrical problem. ⚠️

Frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm outlets, sparks, or a burning smell can all be signs of a serious electrical issue.

Moving into a new place for school is exciting! Remember to plan your way out. 🔥

Between classes, roommates and settling into a new routine, fire safety might not be top of mind. Share this back-to-school fire safety checklist with a student:

✅ Review fire safety information provided by your landlord.
✅ Make sure windows and doors open easily, especially in bedrooms.
✅ Keep hallways and stairs clear of boxes, bags, shoes and clutter so you have a clear path out.
✅ Agree on an outdoor meeting spot with your roommates and make sure everyone knows the plan.
✅ Practice walking the escape routes so you don’t have to figure it out under pressure.

Before a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm sounds, make sure you have a plan!

We’ve already seen significant rainfall across Clarington this morning, with more expected later this afternoon and into the evening. 🌧️

Here are a few important reminders to keep yourself and your property safe:
👉 Clear leaves and debris from the catch basins near your property when it's safe to do so.
👉 Prepare for high winds by securing loose objects and avoid forested areas during windstorms.
👉 Prep for potential power outages by stocking up on flashlights, charging your devices, and preparing an emergency kit.
👉 Stay away from creeks and ponds as the water levels rise.
👉 Never drive through a flooded road - seek an alternate route instead or stay off the roads if possible.
👉 Watch for fallen trees, downed power lines and other hazards.

See a problem? Let us know! You can report flooding, road concerns, fallen trees or other municipal issues through the Service Clarington Portal: www.clarington.net/ServiceClarington ⬅️

Storm coming? Don't wait for the power to go out.

Take a few minutes now to make sure you're ready:
🔦 Have flashlights and fresh batteries on hand
🔋 Charge your cellphone and other important devices
🥫 Stock up on non-perishable food and water

And remember, power outages can also create fire risks. Skip the wick and use battery-operated candles for a safer light source during a power outage.

If you're using a generator, never use it indoors, including in your home, garage or other enclosed spaces.

When we get the call, Clarington firefighters are ready for it all! 🧑‍🚒

Lithium-ion batteries can create fast, intense fires. They’re often found in everyday items, like phones, laptops, e-bikes, e-scooters, power tools and even battery-powered lawn mowers.

Before you plug in tonight, Firefighter Steven from our Newcastle station and Firefighter Captain Eric from our Courtice station have two simple tips to help protect your family and home:

🔋 Charge devices on a hard, flat surface
🌙 Avoid overnight charging whenever possible

Battery fires can develop quickly and require specialized response. As our community grows and changes, Clarington Emergency and Fire Services continues to invest in training and equipment to ensure firefighters are prepared for evolving emergencies—from battery fires and incidents in multi-storey buildings to specialized rescue situations and more.

What would your child do if they saw a firefighter in full gear during an emergency? 👨‍🚒

It's so important to help the youth in our community become familiar with first responders before an emergency happens.

This morning, campers from P.R.Y.D.E. Learning Centres visited our station in Newcastle to learn about fire safety and interact with firefighters in full bunker gear! 🚒

If you see us out in the community, don't be afraid to stop us and say hi! 👋

Extension cords are for temporary use, not a permanent solution.🔌

Using extension cords every day can increase wear and create potential fire hazards. Avoid running cords under carpets or through doorways, and always plug major appliances directly into wall outlets.

Have a licensed electrician install additional outlets if needed.

Working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms provide early warning and can give you and your family valuable time to get out safely. Volunteer Firefighter Melanie from our Enniskillen station wants you to:

🚨 Test your alarms regularly
🔋 Replace batteries as needed

When an alarm sounds, your job is to get out. Our job is to go in.

That's why Clarington continues to invest in firefighter safety. Clarington has been adding new gear-cleaning equipment that helps remove harmful contaminants from protective gear after emergency calls, helping to protect those who protect us.
