KITCHEN SAFETY REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS PUBLIC NOTICEDid You Know?In Ontario 39% of fire injuries between 2009 and 2013 were the result of unattended cooking.

Your Gravenhurst fire fighters offer these tips to keep you and your family safe;

• “Look while you cook”, stay in the kitchen when you cook.• Keep a proper fitting pot lid near the stove when cooking, if a

pot catches fire, slide the lid carefully over the pot and turn the stove off. Do not move the pot.

• Wear tight fitting, short or rolled up sleeves when using the stove to prevent clothes from coming in contact with burners.

• Keep combustibles well away from the stove.• Keep children well away from the stove, and make sure there

are no cords or towels dangling near the stove that could be pulled by children.

• Treat a burn by running cool water over the wound for 3 to 5 minutes. If the burn is severe, seek medical attention.

• Always, have working smoke alarms and a practiced home escape plan!

The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) provides you with special rights when you buy something in your home that costs more than $50.00. You need to know what those rights are before you open your door to salespeople.

Effective April 1st, 2015 the Consumer Protection Act requires that a salesperson provide a Mandatory Provincial Disclosure Form with respect to Water Heater Contracts. This form provides information and disclosure of specific information.

Be sure to know and understand your rights before someone knocks on your door! For more information on dealing with the various types of door-to-door salespeople. Visit:www.ontario.ca/consumers/door-door-sales-and-home-service-contracts
