Brighton Fire & Rescue aiming to reduce smoke and carbon monoxide deaths to zero

By Brock Ormond Nov 27, 2025 | 4:24 PM

Enbridge Gas Ontario and Brighton Fire & Rescue have announced they are working together to improve home safety and bring fire and carbon monoxide-related deaths down to zero.

Brighton Fire & Rescue received 168 combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms through Safe Community Project Zero at an event on Thursday.

Safe Community Project Zero is a public education campaign the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council that will provide more than 14,200 alarms to residents in 75 communities across Ontario.

This year, Enbridge Gas invested $450,000 in Safe Community Project Zero, and over the past 17 years, the program has provided more than 115,000 alarms to Ontario fire departments.

When properly installed and maintained, combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms help provide the early warning to safely escape from a house fire or carbon monoxide exposure. Carbon monoxide is a toxic, odourless gas that is a by-product of incomplete combustion of many types of common fuels.
