🔥🐾 National Pet Fire Safety Day – July 15 🐾🔥
Tomorrow is National Pet Fire Safety Day—a great reminder to include your furry family members in your fire safety plans! Pets are part of the family, and a little preparation can save lives. Here are some essential tips to keep them safe:

1️⃣ Extinguish Open Flames – Curious paws and wagging tails don’t mix with fire. Never leave candles or cooking food unattended.
2️⃣ Remove Stove K***s – Pets can accidentally turn on burners while climbing or exploring.
3️⃣ Use Flameless Candles – They provide ambiance without the fire risk—especially helpful during power outages.
4️⃣ Ditch Glass Water Bowls Outdoors – On wooden decks, they can magnify sunlight and start a fire. Choose metal or plastic instead.
5️⃣ Leashes & Collars by the Door – Store them near your home’s main entrance for quick access in an emergency.
6️⃣ Secure Pets When You’re Away – Use kennels or pet-proofed rooms to reduce risk and keep them safe.
7️⃣ Use Pet Alert Window Clings – These help firefighters locate and identify your pets. Keep them up to date!
8️⃣ Have a Plan – Make sure everyone in the family knows who is responsible for which pet in case of a fire.

Taking just a few of these steps can make a world of difference. 🐶🐱 Let’s keep our pets safe by planning ahead!

As temperatures rise across Ontario, the OPP is reminding the public of the life-threatening risks of leaving children or pets unattended in parked vehicles.

Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a vehicle can rise rapidly posing a serious risk of heatstroke, brain damage, or death. Within 10 minutes, the interior of a car can become 20 degrees hotter than the outside temperature, even with windows slightly open. Children and pets are especially vulnerable as they cannot regulate their body temperature effectively.

Prevention is simple:

• Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle, even for a short time.
• Always check the back seat before locking your car.
• Use reminders like placing a personal item in the back seat to avoid forgetting.
• If you can’t bring your pet with you, leave them at home in a cool, safe environment.
• Consider dog-friendly destinations or pet-sitting services when running errands.

⚠️ Heat Can Kill in Minutes
⚠️ If you see a child or pet alone in a hot car, call 911 immediately.
Your quick action could save a life.

Let’s work together to keep our communities safe. Talk to your friends, neighbours, and family about the dangers of leaving children or pets in hot cars. A simple reminder can save a life.
