Yesterday we posted about the importance of checking the certifications of your smoke/CO alarms. Shortly after we had a resident arrive at the firehall to check the validity of these CO alarms that were purchased online! Not only are these on a Health Canada recall list BUT they do NOT have either the CSA or UL-C testing mark that certify that they are tested to Canadian Standards. We cannot stress enough the importance of ensuring they are CSA or UL-C approved to ensure they are able to do the job they were meant to do -saving lives!

As the air quality has improved & we are no longer under a smog alert, open air burning with a permit is allowed. Please note we did not issue a "ban" as the bylaw clearly states that burning is prohibited if a smog alert has been declared.
