Fire Education

Hanover Fire provides a variety of fire education programs that target residents of all ages, as well as business owners within our community. The goal of all of our programs is to educate and equip everyone – from children and youth to adults and older adults with the knowledge and resources they need to help prevent fires from occurring at home, at school and at work.

Fire Prevention

Hanover Fire is responsible for providing fire prevention education and ensuring compliance with the Ontario Fire Code. When it comes to fighting fires and potentially saving lives, fire prevention is just as important as fire suppression. Hanover Fire provides a number of key services to promote and educate the community on ways to prevent fire.
