On Dec. 6th, Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service (VFRS) urged everyone to pay special attention when cooking during the holidays, and to drink responsibly. Provincial statistics reveal that careless cooking is the number one cause of fires and the second leading cause of fatal fires.

VFRS also reminded citizens about the law requiring working smoke alarms on every level of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Take a few minutes to test your smoke alarms and make sure people in the home know exactly what to do if the smoke alarms sound in an emergency. Develop and practice a home escape plan with everyone in the home.

"The holidays bring family and friends together to celebrate and share in the joys of this special time of the year. The safety of our citizens is a top priority and we want to ensure that you and your family have a happy and safe festive season. I encourage everyone to use care when celebrating and follow the important safety advice from Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service. We all have a role to play in keeping our city safe."- Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua, City of Vaughan.
