    That Kingston City Council recognize October 6 to 12, 2024 as Fire Prevention Week. The campaign for 2024 is “Smoke alarms: make them work for you!”. According to the National Fire Prevention Association, smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire by more than half, with three out of five fire deaths happening in homes with either no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Kingston Fire & Rescue, along with other fire departments through Ontario and North America, will be educating residents on the importance of installing and maintaining smoke alarms to support this year’s theme. Kingston City Council thanks Kingston Fire & Rescue for their work and encourages all residents to test existing smoke alarms and install new smoke alarms where needed.
