"Many people think, ‘It will never happen to me,’ but emergencies can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. That’s why we work so hard to promote simple but effective practices, like having working smoke alarms on every floor and creating exit plans for your family. These small actions save lives.” Kris Hill, Assistant Fire Chief, Lloydminster Fire Department |
