When approaching an emergency vehicle with flashing red or red/blue lights, or a tow truck with flashing amber lights stopped on the side of the road, you’re required by law to slow down and proceed with caution.

▶️Not broken
▶️Not obstructed

Tip: If a fire breaks out, don't waste valuable seconds calling 9-1-1 before you've escaped. Use every precious second to evacuate first and call 9-1-1 only after you are safe from danger.
Plan a Record-Breaking Escape today!

@ONFireMarshal
have missing, disabled, or expired smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. There are no good excuses for risking lives. Install smoke and CO alarms, test them monthly and change the batteries if needed.
