It's minor league hockey playoff season. February 29th also allows for an extra day at the rink. If you didn't do it at the beginning of Feb, cap off the extra day by testing your smoke alarms. Win or lose, it's definitely a goal scored when it comes to your family's safety.

It was great to sit down and have a conversation. Opportunities to share ideas and discuss initiatives is what's going to keep us singing from the same fire safety song sheet.
