Give the Gift of Laughter & Music!
A Carbon Monoxide Detector makes a great Christmas gift for someone you love! Did you know that Ontario just enacted legislation that makes a CO Detector mandatory in all places where people sleep? Aside from the legislation, having working CO alarms just makes good sense wherever fuel-burning appliances such as wood stoves, gas or propane furnaces and water heaters are installed. Give the gift that really shows others you care – give the gift of life! For more information, please see www.gravenhurst.ca or call the Gravenhurst Fire Department at 705-687-3414 for more information.
