Fire Departments launch 12 Days of Holiday Safety Campaign

Kawartha Lakes – Fire and Emergency Services in Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes and Richmond Hill have partnered with Enbridge Gas to promote the 12 Days of Holiday Safety on local radio stations.

From December 9 to 11, radio advertisements featuring representatives from Enbridge Gas will promote the holiday safety campaign and provide carbon monoxide safety tips on KX96 New Country FM, 94.9 theRock, 107.7FM and 1580AM CKDO. The team of public educators and other fire personnel from the local fire services in Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes and Richmond Hill will continue to share helpful safety tips that will air on the same stations from December 12 to 23.

With fire safety knowing no borders, this year’s campaign has been expanded to include the following fire services: Ajax, Brock, Clarington, Kawartha Lakes, Oshawa, Pickering, Scugog, Whitby, Uxbridge, and Richmond Hill. The radio ads will promote fire safety messages to the residents of Durham Region, York Region as well as the surrounding communities in Ontario. This partnership with Enbridge Gas will provide important safety information during a time of year when there’s typically an increase in fire related emergencies.
