To encourage people to take action during Fire Prevention Week, we’re holding a contest from September 28 to October 14, 2023. Simply snap a photo of you or family members doing something to be prepared in case of fire or emergency and post it to social media using the hashtag #BePreparedSouthFrontenac and tag us.
