🎓🔥 Heading off to school and moving into a new place?

Along with unpacking boxes and getting settled, take a few minutes to think about fire safety.

Ramara Fire & Rescue Services is sharing an important reminder from the Ontario Fire Marshal: know how you’ll get out before you need to.

🏠 Know two ways out
🚪 Keep exits and hallways clear
📍 Choose a meeting spot outside
👥 Make sure your roommates know the plan

Thanks to Ramara Fire & Rescue for helping students start the school year safely. Check out their post below for more important fire safety tips.

A Message from the Ontario Fire Marshal:

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

Students have so many things to think about when moving into a new place but fire safety matters too. Before a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm sounds, plan two ways out of every room and plan a meeting spot outside which saves critical time in an emergency.

Fire Safety Plan: Review fire safety information provided by your landlord.

Bedrooms: Make sure windows and doors open easily
Hallways/Stairs: Keep exits clear of boxes, bags, shoes and clutter.
Roommates: Agree on a meeting spot outside and make sure everyone knows the plan.
Practice: Walk the escape routes so you don’t have to figure it out under pressure.
