Enbridge Gas teams up with Thorold Fire and Emergency Services to reduce fire and carbon monoxide deaths

Enbridge Gas , Thorold Fire and Emergency Services and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council have announced they are working together to improve home safety and bring fire and carbon monoxide-related deaths down to zero. Thorold Fire and Emergency Services received 228 combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms through Safe Community Project Zero, a public education campaign that will provide more than 8,000 alarms to residents in 50 municipalities across Ontario.

This year, Enbridge Gas invested $250,000 in Safe Community Project Zero, and over the past 14 years, the program has provided more than 76,000 alarms to Ontario fire departments. 

Jon Pegg, Ontario Fire Marshal and Chair of the FMPFSC, says “The objective of Safe Community Project Zero is to deliver combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to residents in Ontario communities who need them the most. It’s a program that fire departments can adopt to help educate their communities about the requirement for all Ontario homes to have a CO alarm if they have a fuel-burning appliance or an attached garage.”
