2025: Year of the Smoke Alarm

As it is 2025, remember that smoke alarms, including strobe alarms introduced in 2015, have a 10-year lifespan. If your home has an alarm that was installed in 2015 or prior, it’s time to replace it this year! Ensure your safety by checking the manufacturing date and updating your alarms.

The seven member team presently operates out of the Fire/Life Safety Education Centre, located at 225 Central Park Drive in the southwest corner of Chinguacousy Park in Brampton.
