Fire officials point out that nearly half of all fatal fires in Ontario occur because there are no working smoke alarms in the home. "Most deaths due to fire happen at night when everyone is sleeping," said Gary Laframboise, Oakville chief fire prevention officer. "As a result, we encourage all residents to have a fire escape plan, to practise it often and replace the batteries in their smoke alarms regularly.

Failure to comply with the Fire Code smoke alarm requirements can result in a ticket for $235 or a fine of up to $50,000.
