On Dec. 18, Enbridge Gas Inc. in partnership with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council presented the Norfolk County Fire Department more than 200 combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
In attendance were Norfolk Fire Chief Gord Stilwell; Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Smith; Councillor Doug Brunton; Jeremy Reimer, Southwest Supervisor Operations, Enbridge Gas; and Brandon Ronson, Southwest USR Crew Leader, Enbridge Gas.
“I think it’s a good program, it’s a good example of both Enridge and the fire department working together for one cause,” said Reimer.
“It’s a good program to keep the lines of communication open with the fire department,” said Ronson, who is also a Norfolk firefighter. “We lean on them and they lean on us, so it’s good to keep that friendship strong.”
“This program with Enbridge has been ongoing and they have been great supporters of the communities and the fire departments by providing us alarms for CO and smoke awareness,” said Stilwell, who has been a member of the Norfolk fire department for about 30 years.
“We would like the public to know is that only properly working and operating alarms can save their lives. And every minute counts when you have an emergency, so them providing this gift of alarms to us allows us to distribute it out into the communities where they can be used best and help protect families in Norfolk County.”
“It’s a great program,” said Brunton, urging people to check their smoke alarms. “There’s so many people who don’t check.”
