Edmonton Fire Rescue Services - 2023 Fire Prevention Week Challenge and Activities
Hello, Community Leagues!
Is your neighbourhood the most fire-safety conscious? We're challenging all Edmontonians to take the Home Fire Safety Assessment challenge to find out.
Throughout Fire Prevention Week, taking place October 8 - 14, 2023, and until the end of the month, Edmontonians can take part in a number of fire safety education activities, including the Home Fire Safety Assessment, to improve fire safety in their homes and communities. Edmonton Fire Rescue Services is excited to offer a block party prize to the community league or neighbourhood with the highest number of completed safety assessments, as well as an individual prize to one lucky member of the winning group.
Please see the attached Fire Prevention Week toolkit for full information and resources, including social media templates for community league coordinators to promote this initiative. If you have any questions, please reach out to EFRS Communications Advisor Krista Rivet at krista.rivet@edmonton.ca or 780-292-6623.
We hope you will join us in this year's Fire Prevention Week activities and help us improve fire safety for our city and all Edmontonians.

Parking Ban Notifications
This year, the City of Edmonton has launched a new parking ban notification tool.
Signing up for notifications is easy! The 24 hour advance notice of a parking ban, through text and/or email, helps drivers avoid a $250 fine. It also helps crews clear roads safely and more efficiently. Subscribers are even notified of when a ban has ended. Visit edmonton.ca/SafeTravels to sign up for notifications.
