Home fire safety is an incredibly important responsibility throughout the year. Preparing for a potential fire with a home escape plan is a very important first step, but it's also important to know what to do to prevent kitchen, electrical, or heating equipment fires.

Public Education
In addition to providing emergency response services, Lambton Shores Fire and Emergency Services (LSFES) is dedicated to providing public education and fire prevention services to the community.

Safe Boating Awareness Week takes place the fourth week of May each year and is an opportunity to remind boaters about the importance of safe boating practices. Each year, Lambton Shores Fire and Emergency Services shares important reminders in hopes of increasing boating safety while reducing the number of emergency calls on the water.
Each year, Lambton Shores Fire and Emergency Services marks the holiday season with the 12 Days of Holiday Fire Safety campaign.
