A Dangerous Mix

The Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council and Ontario's Credit Unions Public Service Announcement

It's a fact that many fire deaths are caused by people attempting to cook or smoke while under the influence of alcohol. Unfortunately, their families are often victims as well. Alcohol and fire are a dangerous mix. A lit cigarette dropped on the couch or a forgotten pan of grease on the stove could mean disaster for you and your family. If someone in your household cooks or smokes while intoxicated, you must be aware of the risk. Keep a watchful eye on drinkers and make sure you have a working smoke alarm on every level of your home. A message from the Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council and this station.

Many fire deaths are caused by people cooking or smoking while under the influence of alcohol. There's more to responsible drinking than taking a cab. Don't put yourself--or your family--at risk to fire. A message from the Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council and this station.
