The Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board (HWCDSB) proudly stands behind the 2024 HFD Fire Safety First program initiated by the Hamilton Fire Department. Throughout February to June 2024, our schools will contribute to community safety by sharing monthly fire safety messages. 

These crucial messages, sourced from reputable entities including the Hamilton Fire Department, the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal, the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, and the National Fire Prevention Association, will be communicated through various channels. 

The February 2024 Fire Safety First message centers around Smoke Alarms, emphasizing the importance of immediate action when the alarm sounds. For an engaging child activity related to this message, please find easy and hard connect-the-dots puzzles at the following links:
