The Ontario Municipal Fire Prevention Officers’ Association, on behalf of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council, would like to announce an update to the Alarmed For Life Program. American Sensors’ new handheld Carbon Monoxide Meter (Model ECD 9140), which replaces its previous model, is now available to the fire service. A revised Order Form is attached to this Communiqué.
To date, the Alarmed For Life program has sold:
| Item | No. Sold |
|---|---|
| Regular Smoke Alarms | 7,398 |
| Ten Year Smoke Alarms | 3,651 |
| Carbon Monoxide Detectors | 4,858 |
| Batteries | 20,691 |
| Hand Held Meters | 40 |
Many fire departments and associations or groups are involved with the program. Alarmed for Life has raised approximately $78,000.00, which the Council uses to support public fire safety programs in Ontario. The Alarmed For Life program is a life saving initiative designed to reduce fire deaths and injuries in the community. Its success depends on the participation of all fire departments which are encouraged to become involved in this program. Alarmed For Life provides an excellent fund raising opportunity for fire departments to promote fire safety in their communities. Furthermore, fire departments retain half of all the proceeds raised through this valuable program.
For additional information about Alarmed For Life, please refer to Communiques #96-013 and #96-007 or if you have an inquiry, please contact:
Dave Flynn -- (905) 357-3457

In addition to the new handheld meter, many other fire safety products are now available to the fire service. Although these products are not part of the Alarmed For Life Program, the fire service can order any of these products directly from the Ontario Municipal Fire Prevention Officers’ Association. A special order form for these products is attached.
