Fire Prevention message from the Chief

Fire Prevention Week works to educate people about home fires and the ways they can better protect themselves and their loved ones. Local fire departments play a key role in bringing Fire Prevention Week to life each year by spreading basic but critical fire safety messages.

The Kindersley Fire Department is engaged with our community and beyond. When it comes to public education, we believe that educating people of all ages is a great way to fight fires before they start.

The theme for Fire Prevention Week, October 9-15, 2022, is “Fire Won’t Wait. Plan Your Escape.”

The following are key messages we hope the public will take into consideration when planning their home fire escape plan:

Make sure your home escape plan meets the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.

Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of your home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected so when one sounds, they all sound.

Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows open easily.

Have an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home where everyone should meet.

Practice your home fire drill at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including guests. Practice at least once during the day and at night.

Kindersley Fire Chief,
Jeff Soveran
