🔥 Fire Prevention Week – October 4–10, 2026 🔥

Fire Prevention Week is an important opportunity for the Township of Stirling-Rawdon Fire Department to remind residents that fire safety starts with prevention. This week, we encourage everyone in our community to take a few simple steps to help keep their families, homes and workplaces safe. Check that your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are working properly, review and practise your home fire escape plan, use cooking and heating equipment safely, and be aware of potential fire hazards around your home. Fire can happen quickly, but taking the time to prepare can make a life-saving difference. The Stirling-Rawdon Fire Department is proud to support Fire Prevention Week and encourages everyone to learn about fire safety, prevent fires, and know what to do in an emergency.

🔥 Grass Fire Season Reminder 🔥

As spring starts to creep in and everything dries out, it also means one thing… grass fire season is here.

We’ve already been out dealing with a few, and conditions right now make it very easy for fires to spread quickly.

If you’re planning a controlled burn, please keep a few things in mind:

• Call it in first to your local fire department
• Check the conditions — wind, dryness, and surrounding area all matter
• Have water or dirt on hand — a hose, buckets, or equipment ready to go
• Never leave a fire unattended
• Make sure it’s fully out before walking away

What starts as a small, controlled burn can get away from you faster than you think.

Let’s keep everyone safe this season 🚒
