Découvrez la passion de Marwan Shedeed pour son métier de pompier à travers son histoire. Né au Québec de parents d'origine libanaise, rien de laissait entrevoir qu'il emprunterait ce chemin jusqu'à ce qu'un ami lui donne la piqûre du métier à l'âge de 21 ans.
Prevention tip

Carbon monoxide detector

Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal. It's important to be aware of the risks and take preventive measures.

Carbon monoxide is the result of incomplete combustion of a fossil fuel, which produces an odourless, colourless, incolore, tasteless, non-irritating and toxic gas. Even in small amounts, it can be fatal. In new residential buildings, carbon monoxide detectors are required if the dwelling has a gas-burning appliance with doors that are not completely sealed.
