Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal

From September 24 to October 15, 2022, 8 fire stations will indeed welcome the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and educate them about fire safety.

During the night of March 12 to 13, you will have to change the time on your clocks. Montréal’s fire department (SIM) would like to take this opportunity to remind Montrealers to check that their fire alarms are in good working order. Saving lives could be that simple!

The By-law concerning false fire alarms aims to reduce the number of avoidable false fire alarms. In case of an actual fire, these alarms must be taken very seriously.

Few people suspect that smartphones, tablets, laptop computers, or electrical scooters and bikes can actually start a fire.  

Cooking fires are at the very top of accidental fires on the island of Montréal.

The number of smokers continues to decrease, smokers' items remain the cause of numerous building fires on the island of Montréal. No less than 29% of recorded fires involved smokers’ items.

''A citizen had called 911 to report a fire burning uncontrollably in his kitchen, located in a ground-floor unit of a 42-unit apartment building.[...] The occupant of the apartment above, #302, did not have a smoke alarm. As the smoke was spreading throughout her apartment, she remained fast asleep.''
