Fire
Prevention Office
 The fire prevention division has two functions: public education and
regular safety inspections. The most important goal of the department
is teaching and explaining fire safety to the public. The ultimate goal
is to have everyone make fire safety part of his or her day-to-day routine.
The second function of the department is to reduce fires through inspections,
planning reviews and to make sure all buildings are in compliance with
the Ontario fire code.
There are two full time Fire Prevention Professionals.
The department is run under the direction of Fire Prevention Officer,
Tom Potter. He reaches out to the citizens of this community through
various programs and related information, education and training. His
staff's specialty is talking directly to the residents of the community
through short speaking engagements, displays at community functions
plus visits to local schools, seniors apartments, day care facilities,
local industries and homes for the aged.
The department is also available to supply valuable information on
smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers.
