Date: Monday, December 2
Time: 1 p.m.

This advertising and public education campaign by Toronto Fire Services and the Raptors will urge people to “Install, test and maintain your smoke alarms. And make a fast break. Always have a fire escape plan. Learn how to keep your home safe from fire at Toronto.ca/FireSafety.”
For the launch of this campaign, Kidde Canada will be on site to donate 5,000 smoke alarms and 700 carbon monoxide alarms, all with 10-year, hassle-free batteries. Toronto Fire Services will give the alarms to the Daily Bread Food Bank to include in its holiday drive food baskets.

As the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is a global leader in technology, finance, film, music, culture and innovation, and consistently places at the top of international rankings due to investments championed by its government, residents and businesses.
