As the start of a new school term begins, the cooperative knowfire.ca project will have a new look, and some new media. Over the summer, partners have been working hard at creating a new website and two new videos to add to the current six videos of knowfire.ca that focus on fire safety awareness.

The knowfire.ca initiative is geared at 18-24 year olds, and promotes fire safety and prevention. The two new videos are a great addition to the current content of the site, and focus on the dangers of kitchen fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.

The videos are thought provoking, and sometimes push the limit to convey the seriousness of having working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, particularly in student housing.

In hopes that students will take head the knowledge that the videos convey, these videos will be posted on knowfire.ca just in time for the rush of students into the Niagara Region this Labour Day weekend.

The work done on the knowfire.ca website has created a more user-friendly interface, with a focus on the attention-getting videos. There is also a new interactive feature to easily locate fire and emergency services in your area.

All of these new changes are a very exciting upgrade to the knowfire.ca initiative, and will definitely get students' attention regarding the importance of fire safety for the upcoming school year.

For schools looking to get involved in the knowfire.ca project, they are encouraged to contact us for more information.
