FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety
October 3-9, 2021
Is there a beep or a chirp coming out of your smoke or carbon monoxide alarm? What does it all mean? Knowing the difference can save you, your home, and your family! Make sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and knows how to respond. Learn the sounds of your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms by checking the user guide or search the brand and model online.

What if someone in my home is deaf or hard of hearing?
There are smoke alarms and alert devices that alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These devices include strobe lights that flash to alert people when the smoke alarm sounds. Pillow or bed shakers designed to work with your smoke alarm also can be purchased and installed.
For more information on this important topic, visit Fire Safety for the deaf or hard of hearing at: https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Staying-safe/Preparedness/Fire-Prevention-Week/~/link.aspx?_id=CB3610E8F1164B1AAC9AB2C2B8896641&_z=z

SCOTCH BROOM
Scotch broom was introduced from the Mediterranean and is an escaped garden plant in Canada. It easily invades sunny, disturbed sites such as rangelands, roadsides, and areas of recent logging. Scotch broom can increase the intensity of wildfires, obstruct sightlines along roads, and crowd out native plants that animals depend on. A mature plant can live up to 25 years and produce seeds that can survive in the soil for 30 years. Invasive Species Council of BC
If you have Scotch broom on your property and would like it removed, the Village of Masset will be happy to assist. Please call 250-626-3995 weekdays from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
