Fire safety hazards

Keeping fire doors closed during a fire can save lives. Open doors allow smoke and fire to spread into other areas of the building. Keeping fire doors closed helps contain the fire, and prevents the fire from spreading into emergency exit pathways.

Xiriitaanka albaabada dabku goorta dab jiro waxay badbaadisaa nafo. Albaabada furan waxa ka soo gala qiiqa iyo dabka oo ku faafa goobaha kale ee sarta, Xiritaanka albaabada dabku waxay xakamaysaa dabka, oo ay ka ilaalisaa kufiditaanka dabka albaabada xaaladda degdegga iyo marinada.

Mantener las puertas cortafuego cerradas durante un incendio puede salvar vidas, ya que las puertas abiertas permiten que el humo y las llamas se esparzan hacia otras áreas del edificio. Además, mantener las puertas cortafuego cerradas ayuda a contener las llamas y evita que se propaguen hacia las vías de salida de emergencia.

在火災發生時保持防火門關閉可以拯救生命。打開的門會讓煙霧和火焰蔓延到建築物的其他區域。保持防火門關閉有 助於控制火勢，並防止火勢蔓延到緊急出口通道。

Rodents (mice and rats) Environmental Health Unit (EHU)

Rodents are carriers of bacteria and disease. You can get sick if you are bitten by a rodent, or if you are exposed to areas that are contaminated by rodent urine or droppings.

Rodents can cause damage to your home and belongings when they chew on them.

To prevent infestation, remove your household garbage daily. Clean up food scraps, spills and crumbs.

Remove food sources by using tight fitting containers for food storage.

Make sure your garbage is tied up and placed into the garbage chute or taken directly to the garbage collection area.

If you see rodents in your unit or suspect their presence, immediately notify your superintendent or contact the Client Care Centre (416-981-5500) to book an inspection and treatments by a professional at no cost to you.

EHU and TCHC will work in partnership with tenants to keep units and buildings pest-free.
