Food for thoughts on fire safety in Comox Valley

Comox Valley residents will have a chance to get a free dinner next month. 

To celebrate Fire Prevention Week, Courtenay and Comox fire departments are partnering with Domino’s Pizza to award residents with a free pizza for having a working smoke alarm in their home. 

Residents in single residential homes, duplexes, and townhouses who call Domino’s Pizza between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. on Oct. 10 may have their pizza delivered with the help of firefighters. 

Fire fighters will inspect the household smoke alarm with the customer’s permission and those with properly functioning devices will get their pizza for free. 

Also, fire fighters will handle battery replacements for alarms that need it, and those without a working smoke alarm can arrange a return visit to install a battery-powered device for free. 

Households will be chosen at random and as resources are available. 

Fire Prevention Week runs from October 5 to 11, with the theme of Charge into Fire Safety. 

This is the ninth year the fire departments have partnered with Domino’s Pizza for this initiative.
