Farm Safety
Information:
Each farm is unique, which means each farm should have a unique farm fire safety plan. We've made it quick & easy for farm owners/operators to qualify for a custom-made fire safety plan for their farm.
A farm fire safety plan may include:
- In-person assessment
- Fire pre-planning
- Water supply assessment
- Owner/operator/employee training
- Fire drill scenarios
- Livestock evacuation planning
- Fire safety checklist
- Farm fire safety for kids
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) is a great partner for farm fire safety. The OFA can help Fire Chiefs with the following:
- Tours and or training opportunities at farm operations in your local area
- Speaking at County Chiefs or Mutual Aid meetings
- Engage at the local level to explore The Emily Project - https://www.farm911.ca/
- Promoting fire safety and fire safety/emergency planning on farms
