Install Smoke Alarms
IT'S THE LAW.

The new fire code regulation that makes a smoke alarm mandatory on every level of a home comes into effect March 1, 2006 and affects single-family houses, semi-detached houses and townhouses. 

Non-compliance with the fire code can result in a ticket for $235 or a fine up to $25,000.

It is also recommended that people replace smoke alarms every 10 years.

People can get more information about smoke alarms from the Pickering Fire Services at 905.420.4628 or email: fire@city.pickering.on.ca
