The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management is reporting there have 11 deaths in Ontario due to smoke alarm issues.

It is also advising that all smoke and CO detectors should be replaced after seven to 10 years of use and that a home escape plan is in place.

In Parry Sound, free CO detectors are available to families that can’t afford to purchase them through the Hawkins-Gignac Foundation at the fire department.

If you need one, contact John Tuck at 705-746-1845 ext. 303 or leave a message on his cell phone at 705-746-2262.

He cautions that supplies are limited and that only those that have a genuine need for a free detector should contact him.

I was born and raised in the former Borough of East York (now part of Toronto), a friendly community with small-town roots. After attending Ryerson’s Electrical Technology program in Toronto, I became involved in the family’s retail electronics business, eventually taking it over. During that time, I became involved in a number of community groups including the East York Community Centre Liaison Committee, and sitting on the board of the Toronto Police 54 Division liaison committee, as well as chairing the Pape Village Business Improvement Area. In 2007, I decided to pursue a career in radio broadcasting, enrolling in Humber College’s radio broadcasting program. It was a wonderful opportunity and something I’ve wanted to do since high school. After working at a number of stations in both Ontario and Alberta, I am excited to work alongside with the great team at 103.3 Moose FM in beautiful Parry Sound.
