Leading fire safety manufacturer launches nationwide safety awareness campaign ahead of summer holidays
VAUGHAN, ON, June 16, 2021 /CNW/ -- With Canada Day fast approaching, many are looking forward to celebrating outdoors and firing up the grill. In fact, 45% of Canadians plan to barbecue for the upcoming holiday. However, barbecuing brings potential fire hazards. To help Canadians stay safe this summer, Kidde is launching a public safety initiative to raise awareness of the importance of practicing fire safety outdoors and ultimately help reduce the amount of injuries caused by grills fires. Kidde is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), the leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions.
In the event of a fire, proper use of fire safety equipment, such as a fire extinguisher, is critical. And yet, according to a new survey commissioned by Kidde and conducted online by The Harris Poll among 1,021 Canadian adults aged 18 and older, 75% do not know or aren't sure if they know how to use the PASS (Pull the pin, Aim, Spray, Sweep) system for discharging a fire extinguisher. The survey also found that while most barbecue owners (85%) own a fire extinguisher, only 48% keep one within reach while barbecuing. In addition, nearly half of barbecue owners (46%) do not know that disposable fire extinguishers need to be replaced every 12 years. As a committed advocate of fire and carbon monoxide (CO) safety education, Kidde is providing life-saving tips to help homeowners safely celebrate the summer season.
"At Kidde, we understand that practicing fire safety goes beyond just understanding the risks of fire and CO poisoning when barbecuing outside or maintaining a fire pit," said Sharon Cooksey, Fire Safety Educator for Kidde. "Most importantly, people need to understand how to properly use equipment to protect your home and loved ones. As many Canadians prepare to entertain outdoors – some for the first time in more than a year – we are proud to share important tips to help them safely celebrate summer."
Kidde shares the following advice to help protect residents from the dangers of smoke, fire and CO while entertaining outdoors.

Survey Methodology:
This survey was conducted online within Canada by The Harris Poll on behalf of Kidde from May 19-21, 2021 among 1,021 adults ages 18 and older, among whom 615 own an outdoor barbeque (e.g., gas, electric, charcoal).
