What a preventable tragedy

Add Maclean's(opens in a new tab)

The fire in Hamilton Ontario which claim the lives of five people, included three children may not have been fatal if there were working fire alarms installed in the house.

The fire occurred only two blocks from my home. Many people in the community are devastated by what occurred. I know I’ve changed my routine to avoid walking by the house.

The message here is clear, check your alarms and make sure they are working.
