| Happy Fire Prevention Week from all of us at the Canton Fire Department! 🚒 From October 5–9, 2026, we’re highlighting simple, everyday habits that keep our neighborhoods safe. Take a few minutes today to walk through these essential safety checks: 1- Check Your Alarms: Test every smoke detector in your home and replace aging batteries. Smoke detectors have a 10 year life. Look for the date on the back of the detector and replace it if it has reached its 10th birthday. 2- Map Two Ways Out: Ensure every room has at least two clear, unblocked escape paths. 3- Practice the Plan: Walk through your family’s escape route together so everyone knows what to do if an emergency strikes. |
