Ottawa Fire Services firefighters visit homes within the community each spring and fall to encourage residents to install, test and ensure that smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms in their homes are present and in working condition.
Firefighters are in uniform and residents are not obligated to provide them access to their home. If no one is home when OFS comes calling, fire safety information is left in the mailbox.
Homeowners who need new or additional alarms are given information on how to acquire one. Those who do not have any working smoke alarms may have one immediately installed for them on-site, or be provided with new batteries.
The Wake Up campaign takes place in June for eight days and in September for eight days.
