NEW!!!!   ENTRY GATE KEY BOXES

Erin Fire & Emergency Services has adopted a program utlizing Emergency Key Security Boxes.  These boxes are to be installed at the main gate entrances of residences and commercial properties and contain a key to permit the Fire Department to enter onto the property.  The installation of these boxes is strictly voluntary.  The Emergency Key Box Program will reduce our response time to your residence and reduce property damage in the event of an emergency. 

For more information please contact Shelley at (519) 855-4407 Ext. 254 or email shelley.ballantyne@erin.ca

As always, Fire & Emergency Services send heartfelt thanks for your generous donations to their many worthwhile causes.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SMOKE ALARMS WILL DO THEIR JOB! 

 

“Most fatal fires occur at night when everyone is asleep. In many cases the occupants were never alerted to the fire because there were no smoke alarms or the smoke alarms were inoperative. Many occupants in these homes just never wake up or when they are finally aware of the fire, there is no time to escape. Working smoke alarms can give you and your family early warning of fire and enough time to get out safely. Smoke alarms can truly provide a sound you can live with"

— Pat Burke, Ontario Fire Marshal
