The year-end provincial statistics for fire fatalities are in–and the number of fire deaths in Ontario is extremely heartbreaking.
Sadly, 101 people lost their lives to fire; many of these deaths involved children … so many years of potential life lost!
As well, many of these deaths were completely preventable.
Meanwhile, an individual from our community recently told me something that sent shivers up my spine.
They went and checked all their smoke alarms throughout the home–and all six were not working!
