Fire safety day set

Staff

In conjunction with Emergency Preparedness Week, the Fort Frances Fire and Rescue Service will hold a “Spring Safety Day” tomorrow (May 14) from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Canadian Tire.
Fire Prevention Capt. Wayne Riches said the focus will be emergency preparedness and fire safety, including residential smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms.
“We will have staff on hand to answer any questions that kids and adults may have,” he noted.
“The fire trucks will be on display in the parking lot, and information booths and displays will be set up, as well.”
Capt. Riches added there will be plenty of fire safety giveaways, along with a draw for a kids’ mountain bike and fire safety prize packages.
The Town of Fort Frances officially declared the week of May 8-14 as “Emergency Preparedness Week” here.
