“Test Your Smoke Alarm Day!” is September 28 With the campaign slogan “Saved by the Beep”, all Ontarians are encouraged to learn more about smoke alarms, fire safety, and home fire escape planning.
Alarms can be powered electrically, by batteries or both. If you are installing an electrically powered alarm, we recommend that it have a battery backup in case of power failures
Smoke alarms with a hush button are highly recommended. The hush feature permits the alarm to be temporarily silenced without disconnecting the power source
Alarms should be installed on the ceiling If this is not possible, install the alarm high up on a wall
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing smoke alarms
Most alarms employ ionization or photo-electric technology. Ionization alarms may respond slightly faster to flaming-type fires. Photo-electric alarms may be quicker at detecting slow, smoldering fires. Consider having both types of alarms in your home. Ensure they have the logo of a recognized standards testing agency, such as CSA or ULC, to ensure they meet Canadian performance standards.
Test your smoke alarms monthly. When the test button is pressed, the alarm should sound. If it fails to sound, ensure the battery is installed correctly or install a new battery. If the alarm still fails to sound, replace the smoke alarm.
This year ’ s Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW™) theme is, “Charge into Fire Safety” focusing on the safe usage of lithium-ion batteries Information on lithium-ion battery safety can be obtained online at OFM website

As part of the Arnprior Fire Department Home Fire and Life Safety Program members of the department will come to your home by appointment and test your smoke and CO alarms to ensure they are working properly
The program will run from September 29 until October 10, 2025
To schedule a visit online at arnprior ca/savedbythebeep or call (613) 623 4231 ext. 2. to book your appointment!
Test CO alarms at least once a month. Replace CO alarms according to the instructions on the package.
Know the sounds the CO alarm makes. It will make one sound if CO is detected, and a different sound if the battery is low or it is time to get a new CO alarm
If the battery is low, replace it
If the CO alarm sounds, you must get fresh air Move outdoors, by an open window or near an open door Call the fire department from a fresh air location Stay there until help arrives
Prevent CO Poisoning
When warming a vehicle, move it out of the garage. Do not run a fueled engine indoors, even if garage doors are open. Make sure the exhaust pipe of a running vehicle is not blocked. Clear snow away. During and after a snowstorm, make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove and fireplace are clear of snow.
Clear all debris from dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace vents.
A generator should be used outdoors in a well-ventilated location away from windows, doors, and vent openings
Only use gas or charcoal grills outside
Have heating equipment and chimneys inspected by a professional annually
Open the damper when using a fireplace for adequate ventilation
