Join the Calgary Fire Department for an in-person fire safety presentation for clients of the ILRCC and their support team. You will learn about the most common causes of fire in Calgary and how to prevent them. We will also discuss the importance of having working smoke alarms and how to plan and follow your home escape plan to get out safely in an emergency. During this presentation clients and their support team will be able to complete our interactive Fire Safety Abilities checklist to determine what skills clients are able to perform on their own and what skills they need support.
