smokealarm.jpg Working Smoke Alarms: It's The Law
Effective March 1, 2006, it is the law for all Ontario homes to have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. With this previously announced Fire Code amendment now in effect, it is hoped there will be a reduction of the number of preventable fire-related injuries and fatalities.
The amendment covers single family, semi-detached and town homes, whether owner-occupied or rented.
