Barbecue season information:

To get your barbecue ready for grilling season, TSSA recommends making
this three-step safety check part of your spring cleaning routine:

1. CLEAN: use a pipe cleaner or wire to make sure the burner ports are
free of rust, dust, dirt, spider webs or other debris.

2. CHECK: examine the hose leading from the fuel supply to the burners.
Replace if cracked or damaged.

3. TEST: find leaks by applying a 50/50 solution of water and dish soap
to all fuel and hose connections. If bubbles appear, tighten the
connections and/or replace the damaged parts and always re-test.

Remember that barbecues are for outdoor use only. If used in an enclosed
space, carbon monoxide - an odourless, colourless, poisonous gas - will
gather and reach dangerous exposure levels, which can lead to serious
health effects, or even death.

  Fire Prevention Tip of the Month

SMOKE ALARMS:

Smoke alarms can save your life by alerting you and your family in time to save your life if a fire occurs in your home.  Smoke alarms are required by law and must be installed on each level in your home.  Keep them away from the kitchen where cooking fumes will set them off.  Place them near the door to the bedrooms and also place one in the bedroom if you sleep with the door shut.

Test your smoke alarms every month and replace the battery once per year or if the alarm starts to chirp.  Keep it free from dust and spider webs.    

Remember  -  replace with new alarms at least every 10 years or when they stop operating properly.

          Please come back often and check for more valuable information.
