Did you know that in Quebec since 2018 clothes dryers have been the cause of at least 450 fires, i.e. 10% of the fires declared by municipalities?
The majority are caused by excessive lint buildup and poor duct maintenance.
Fortunately, proper maintenance and proper use greatly reduces and helps prevent residential fires caused by this type of appliance.
Improper storage of hot ashes can cause fire
and carbon monoxide poisoning

Testimonial
I had a single car accident on Highway 105 in the heart of Low on May 31. I was fortunate to walk away uninjured. This note is to express my sincere appreciation for the professional service extended to me by your public safety staff, led by Fire Chief Michel Lemieux. I can't thank the other personnel by name who extracted me from my vehicle in the bottom of an eight-foot ditch and assured themselves that I was comfortable and safe. But I want them all to know how much I appreciated their help. Next time through Low I'll try harder to stay on the road.
