Surrey, BC – The Surrey Fire Service continues to address community risk and respond to incidents during COVID-19. We have modified our processes to maintain physical distancing and are keeping busy with a continued focus on Community Risk Reduction and Fire Prevention initiatives to ensure the safety of the citizens of Surrey.
Here are some tips to keep you safe:
Inside the Home
-
Check your smoke alarms to ensure that they are present and working. There should be one on each level of the home and make a noise when the button is pressed.
-
Cooking fires can happen very quickly, never leave food unattended when cooking.
Outside the Home
-
There is currently no open burning allowed in Surrey, including backyard burning, campfires or beach fires.
-
Natural gas, propane or charcoal briquettes are permitted as long as they are being used in ULC/CSA-approved devices for that particular product.
-
If you see open burning, please call our non-emergency number at 604-543-6700.
