Timmins Fire Department Kicks-Off Annual Home Inspection Program 
Fire crews across the city will begin their annual Home Inspection Program, going door-to -door from May through October to ensure all residences have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and discussing home escape plans with residents.

The Ontario Fire Code requires all residences to have working smoke alarms on every level of the home and outside sleeping areas. New in 2026, the Ontario Fire Code also requires working carbon monoxide alarms on every level of a home if there is a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, attached garage, or air for heating comes from a fuel-burning appliance not contained within the residence.

The Timmins Fire Department wants to make sure all homes are well protected and residents are prepared in the event of an evacuation. Educating and preparing the public is the first line of defence against home fires.
