As part of Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week, happening November 1st-7th 2024, The Howick Township Fire Department is reminding residents about the risks of carbon monoxide and the important steps to take to avoid exposure in their homes.

Fuel-fired heating appliances like dryers, furnaces, boilers, and fireplaces are all sources of carbon monoxide. If the vent is blocked, this poisonous gas can reach deadly levels inside the home. Know where the vents on your home are and be sure to clear them when shoveling.

OPP have advised us of the following local road closures - Harriston Rd. (County Rd. 87) from Bluevale to Minto-Howick Townline - Amberley Rd. (County Rd. 86) from Bluevale to Wingham - Brussels Line (County Rd. 12) from Amberley Rd. (County Rd. 86) to Blyth Rd. (County Rd. 25)

Wishing you a warm and joyful holiday season! Thank you for your support throughout the year, and we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at the Howick Township Fire Department!

Thank you to Leslie Motors Ford, and Howick Mutual Insurance for their generous donations towards purchasing a fire blanket to help combat electric vehicle fires! Also, a big thank you to a generous Howick resident for their donation towards a new AED. What an amazing community!

With all the snow we’ve been getting, it’s important to check your home’s exterior vents! ✅ Take a few minutes to: ✔️ Clear snow and ice from all exterior vents ✔️ Check your gas meter for snow buildup ✔️ Ensure your CO alarms are working
