The Office of the Fire Commissioner reminds Manitobans to be fire safe during the holiday season, a time when fire and fire losses are significantly higher than the rest of the year.
Working with municipalities, fire departments and fire chiefs, the Office of the Fire Commissioner has developed a four-year fire protection plan to improve training, emergency response and strategic planning across the province.
As a result of a police investigation that began this past November, the former Fire Commissioner for the Province of Manitoba is facing numerous forgery charges.
On the evening of May 19, 2013, Steinbach RCMP, Steinbach Fire and EMS, responded to a report of a house fire on the 500 block of First Street in Steinbach.
To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday season, the Office of the Fire Commissioner (OFC) encourages Manitobans to be on the lookout for electrical and fire dangers commonly found in homes at this time of year.
