This week is used every year to remind everyone of the dangers of house fires, as well as bring awareness and promote prevention. Its Fire prevention Week across Canada and here in The Pas, Randy Manych Town of The Pas Fire Prevention Officer has more information on plug ins. "Plugs have two holes for a reason, unless you are using an approved expansion bar that's CSA approved or UL listed, it shouldn't really be plugged in. The overloading of course, leads to heating of the wires, which then of course, can lead to a fire. Get proper extension cord use, you don't want to be using the same plug you're plugging your vehicle in with, that your plugging in your computer at home, or any other device." Fire prevention week runs the second week of October every year. Manych also says it’s also a great time to check you smoke detectors and if they’re more then 5 years old they need to be replaced.
