Fire Prevention & Education

We are committed to educating our residents about fire safety. Education and training can help prevent fires and keep you and your family safe.

Our Fire Prevention Officer and firefighters are often involved in community events and work closely with schools and community groups to discuss fire safety hazards and what to do in case of an emergency. Please follow our Facebook and Instagram pages? for more fire safety information.

The Leeds 1000 Islands Fire Service uses the application What3Words (free) in its search-and-rescue efforts. During an emergency, people can use the application or online “find me” map to confirm their precise location by zooming into the map grid. Once a user finds their location, a three-word identifier will be shown which can then be relayed to an emergency dispatcher. This allows callers to quickly identify their location, specifically when there is no address, landmarks, or if the street address is not accurate.
