A Message From Fire Chief G.R. Senay, Vaughan Fire & Rescue

Welcome to StopTheFire.org! It brings me great pleasure to provide youwith some key information and resources on fire safety that will help you, your family, fellow community members, and in turn your fire and rescue services, better protect our homes and most of all – save lives.

Our goal is to stop fires before they start, and we want to ensure that you are fully aware of how to prevent and protect yourselves from fire.  I encourage you to pose questions to me and future fire chiefs participating with Stop The Fire, and read our blogs to learn about our experiences and news that effects all of us. Stop The Fire also offers lots of useful tools to better prepare you in case of fire, from information on fire escape plans to fire facts that can help you limit potential causes of fire in your home.

Through my experience with Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service, I have seen and fought one too many preventable fires and witnessed the devastation left behind. Noting these avoidable tragedies, I hope that you will take fire safety as seriously as I do.

Although it is our duty to protect lives and property, much of our success is reliant on you. Seeing that you are on this site, demonstrates to me your willingness to help Stop The Fire. Please take the time to review the site and invite your loved ones to join as well. Your efforts today can save a life tomorrow.
