That’s a wrap on Fire Prevention Week 2026!

What a successful week for Gananoque Fire Service! We had a great time connecting with our community and promoting fire and life safety throughout Gananoque.

Throughout the week, we conducted fire drills, delivered life safety education sessions at local schools, and welcomed community members to the station for tours. On Saturday, Gananoque Fire Service along with our friends at Leeds 1000 Islands Fire Services spent the day out in the community at Canadian Tire and Home Hardware in Gananoque, answering questions, sharing fire safety information, and helping residents learn how to keep their homes and families safe. A special thank you to both stores for their support and for helping make the event a success!

This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme was “Charge Into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower,” with a focus on lithium-ion battery safety. As these batteries become increasingly common in our everyday lives, it’s important to understand the risks and take simple precautions when charging and storing them.

As we wrap up the week, we encourage everyone to take a few minutes to complete our Home Fire Safety Checklist. It’s a great opportunity to make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are in place and working, review your home escape plan, and ensure everyone knows where to meet outside in the event of an emergency.

Interested in learning more? Reach out to Gananoque Fire Service to arrange a fire safety talk or an in-home smoke and carbon monoxide alarm check. We’re always happy to help our community take steps toward a safer home.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s activities and helped make Fire Prevention Week a success. Fire safety is a shared responsibility, and together we can help keep Gananoque safe!

Pump Operations in Action 🚒

A few photos from Wednesday evening’s training, where firefighters were putting their pump operations skills to work. Other crews were busy with their own training exercises across the department.

Regular training keeps our firefighters ready for the calls that matter.

Fire Prevention Week is here!

This year’s theme is all about lithium-ion battery safety and making safe charging choices.

Charge safely. Use the right charger. Make sure you charge your devices on a flat open surface, not under your covers or pillows. If you own an E-Bike/Scooter NEVER store or charge these items in your means of egress.

Safe charging is a superpower.

Stay tuned for upcoming Fire Prevention Week events and activities in our community.
