September 28th is Test Your Smoke Alarm Day

Thursday, September 28, 2023, is Ontario's first Test Your Smoke Alarm Day!

Test Your Smoke Alarm Day is an initiative led by Ontario’s Office of the Fire Marshal, in partnership with community stakeholders, agencies, and sponsors.

Last year there were 133 fire fatalities in the province – the most in 20 years. As part of Test Your Smoke Alarm Day, all Ontarians are encouraged to learn more about smoke alarms, fire safety, and home fire escape planning, which can save the lives of you and your loved ones. Most importantly, we want you to test your smoke alarms!

Free, downloadable resources in multiple languages have been made available here: www.testyoursmokealarmday.ca

Change your batteries and test your smoke alarms today so you can be Saved By the Beep!
