At Avenue Living, the safety and well-being of our residents are always our top priorities. On August 28, 2024, we had the incredible opportunity to host a Fire Awareness Event, bringing our Edmonton community together to learn essential fire safety tips and best practices for preventing fire hazards.
The Edmonton Fire Rescue Services and the Edmonton Police Department came by to teach about fire safety. Residents had the chance to explore firetrucks and police vehicles through interactive tours, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the vital work these teams do every day.
There was also a demo kitchen that was a highlight of the event, where professionals showcased fire safety techniques, including how to handle grease fires and the importance of having a working fire extinguisher. Live demonstrations provided real-world scenarios, reinforcing the importance of fire prevention and preparedness.
And as a treat for attending, our residents got to enjoy some free ice cream during the event.
We are grateful for the collaboration and support from our local emergency services, who play a key role in keeping our communities safe. Fire safety is a shared responsibility, and events like this help empower residents with the knowledge they need to protect themselves and their neighbours.
