The Burlington Fire Department is partnering with Canadian Tire, launching a smoke and carbon monoxide campaign "Just the Facts" for what is required in your home by law. Customers in Canadian Tire, Millcroft Plaza store will be visually aided by a large floor graphic that will help people understand the legal requirements of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in residential homes. This will provide consumers the ability to make an immediate and informed purchase. Members from the Burlington Fire Department will be at Canadian Tire (Millcroft Plaza, 2070 Appleby Line) throughout Fire Prevention Week to help provide education, awarness, answer questions and help shoppers pick the alarm best suited for their home. Come out to see us and the Big Red Truck!

Burlington Fire Department has also teamed up with Burlington Public Library where Public Education Officer/Firefighter Patricia Bednarski reads No Dragons for Tea! No Dragons for Tea is a fun, rhyming verse about a dragon's flame-filled party, a reasurring lesson in fire safety showing kids that learning about fire safety doesn't have to be scary. The story time is followed by a demonstration of firefighting gear and a truck tour. This year it is happening at two Burlington Public Library branches. Information below:

Oct. 11, New Appleby Branch, 676 Appleby Line at 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., followed by a truck tour from 11:30 to 12:30

Oct. 13, Alton Village Branch, 3040 Tim Dobbie Drive at 10:30 till 11:30 a.m., followed by a truck tour 11:30 till 12:30

While the Alton Branch has lots of seating space, New Appleby is smaller, so please arrive early if you'd like to ensure a spot.
