During the Holiday Season, let's keep safety and fire prevention in mind


MONTRÉAL, Dec. 15, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - In order to make this holiday season as safe as can be, the Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal (SIM) is pleased to offer practical advice to prevent fires and spend the holiday season in complete peace of mind.

"Public safety is a priority throughout the year and the holiday season is no exception. During this festive season, I invite all Montrealers to be aware of the safety instructions issued by the SIM. These are winning conditions to ensure the success of the festivities for the city's families and, above all, the safety of everyone," said Alain Vaillancourt, who is responsible for public safety on the Executive Committee of the City of Montréal."

Among the preventive measures that can reduce the risk of fire and consequently the damage, injuries and deaths associated with it, the SIM proposes the following tips:

Christmas tree (artificial or natural)

Candles and lights

Kitchen

Emergency exits

Fuel-powered appliances (natural gas, ethanol, fire wood, etc.)

Smoke alarm

The SIM invites the population to be vigilant during this period of gatherings and festivities because a fire can have important consequences on people and dwellings.

Finally, the Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal family would like to take this opportunity to wish the population of Montreal a happy holiday season!

The SIM spokesperson, Mrs. Louise Desrosiers, will be available for media interviews on this subject. Media wishing to conduct an interview are asked to contact the Media Relations Division at the following address: [email protected]
