As part of fire prevention week The Pas Fire Chief Randy Manych spoke to Arctic Radio to provide some safety tips.

When planning your escape in case of a fire, it’s important to ensure you have two ways out and that your front and back doors are accessible at all times.

It is also important to arrange a meeting place when you evacuate your home this way you can ensure that everyone is safe and accounted for.

It’s also important to have working smoking alarms to alert you when there is a fire, and because of home construction these days fires burn a lot faster and our time to escape is limited.
