Ice Storm May Leave Tens of Thousands Without Power Beyond Christmas

The Orillia Fire Department wants everyone to be prepared in the event of an emergency.  The recent devastating ice storms are an example of the destruction and hardship that many will be enduring this holiday season.  For helpful emergency preparedness hints visit Orillia's Emergency Management and Preparedness.

Carefully consider how and where you will use candles, heating and cooking devices while making your winter emergency preparedness plans.  This holiday season consider the gift of a battery operated smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detector for the people on your Christmas list.
