The Saint John Fire Department urging area residents to keep their families safe from fire. This in time for Fire Prevention Week, which runs October 9th to 15th.
Captain of Fire Prevention and Investigation Roy Nolan says the public is encouraged to tip off the fire department to rental properties or public places that they may think is a hazard.
Saint Johners are also advised to test smoke alarms, maintain heaters and chimneys in time for the heating season, and sleep with bedroom doors closed.
