Durham Region Fire Departments launch “Spring into Summer Safety” Campaign

Fire and Emergency Services in Durham Region and Kawartha Lakes have partnered with Enbridge Gas to promote Spring and Summer safety tips on local radio stations.

From May 3 to June 29, radio ads featuring representatives from Enbridge Gas and the team of public educators from the local fire services in Durham Region will promote the warm weather safety tips on KX96 New Country FM, 94.9 theRock, 107.7FM and 1580AM CKDO each weekend.

This year’s campaign will include the following fire services: Ajax, Brock, Clarington, Kawartha Lakes, Oshawa, Pickering, Scugog, Whitby and Uxbridge. The radio ads will promote fire safety messages to the residents of Durham region as well as the surrounding communities in Ontario. This partnership with Enbridge Gas will provide important safety information during a time of year when there’s typically an increase in fire-related emergencies.
