Ajax Fire to ‘Get Real’ about fire safety with new campaign

Ajax Fire personnel are raising awareness about fire safety with the Get Real Ajax campaign. The campaign runs from September 26 to October 29 and focuses on educating residents about fire safety and fire-related problems in their communities.

Designated households will also receive a Get Real Ajax information card in the mail and a door-to-door visit from Ajax firefighters to discuss the reality of fires in the community.

Residents will also be able to follow Get Real Ajax fire safety tweets on the Town’s social media pages and Ajax Fire’s Twitter (@ajax_fire) account and interact by using the hashtag #GetRealAjax.

“The Get Real Ajax campaign has been very successful in educating our residents about fire safety issues in the community,” said Ajax Fire Chief Dave Lang, who hopes that through education, awareness and teamwork, fire-related fatalities, injuries and property damage can be reduced across the town. “It is an excellent opportunity for our firefighters to interact with our residents and answer any questions that they have regarding fire safety and prevention.”
