To help promote the practice of home fire escape planning and underline its
importance, the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) has developed a new information
card entitled Plan Your Escape! This card, also available in French as
Prévoyez
comment échapper au feu!, was produced to assist fire departments with their
public education programs and activities. Copies of both cards are enclosed.
The new information card informs people that if a fire occurred in their home,
they may have only seconds to escape safely. The card provides simple steps for
home fire escape planning and includes a reminder that working smoke alarms are
required on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas.
Fire departments can order copies of Plan Your Escape! and
Prévoyez comment
échapper au feu! free of charge by using the attached order form. The form can
also be downloaded from the OFM Web site at www.ofm.gov.on.ca. Click on
“Publications” and then on “Forms”.
A limited number of TAPP-C posters can still be ordered free-of-charge by
Ontario fire departments. These posters can easily be tailored to a specific
TAPP-C site by adding a sticker with the community’s TAPP-C intake telephone
number. Please note that TAPP-C brochures and information cards are no longer
available.
The delivery of information cards and TAPP-C posters may take approximately 2 to
4 weeks. Please keep this in mind when placing your order.
To find out more about the new information card or other public education
resources, please contact Marie Ainey, Program Coordinator, Public Education and
Media Relations, by telephone at (416) 325‑3155 or by e-mail at Marie.Ainey@ontario.ca.
