Studying in Canada: An introduction to fire safety knowledge that you must know in Canada

Canada has always been the best place for immigrants to retire. In addition to the suitable climate and friendly people, good social welfare and a stable society are also a major reason for people to immigrate here. Then the recent case of mutilated corpses that has been wildly hyped by the media seems to have shaken the confidence of many parents and students in Canadian security. As students and their parents who are about to go abroad, this kind of worry is natural, but these two cases cannot completely deny the safety of Canada. Canada is a country rich in water resources. Residents don’t have to pay for water, so they also put a lot of effort into fire protection. There must be a fire hydrant within thirty to fifty meters from the door of each household. Put out fires to ensure adequate water supplies. People pay great attention to fire prevention in their daily work. The work site is isolated first and fire extinguishers are put away before starting work.

The configuration of the fire brigade is great, with one driver per vehicle and two or three team members. Each team member is fully equipped and the team members work extremely seriously. Once, I didn't know where the police was called, and three cars came at once. There was no one in the house. They went up and down to the neighbors to check and inquire. They did not leave until they confirmed that it was a false alarm.

When I was in Canada, my residence was surrounded by wooden houses like this. As far as I know, there was only one fire, and the fire brigade put out the fire in time without causing any major losses. Generally speaking, it seems that Canadians have a strong awareness of fire prevention and their ability to put out fires is also excellent.

As for preventing theft, I have not seen any special measures taken by Canadians. There is no anti-theft door on the door and no anti-theft net on the window. The outer stairs are directly connected to the road, so you can sleep with the windows wide open in summer. The door locks are all old-fashioned pin tumbler locks. Bicycles and motorcycles are placed on the side of the road. There are no surveillance cameras in the supermarket, and there are no security check gates at the exits.

I don’t know whether it’s because there are no thieves in Canada, or because people’s awareness of prevention is not strong. At least I feel that there are very few professional thieves in Canada. There are also petty thefts motivated by temporary gain. I encountered this once in my son's store. Canada requires all businesses and stores to turn on lights at night, so it is very convenient to commit crimes. One night a thief pried open the store door. Within a minute or two after he pried open the door, the automatic alarm alerted the security company. The security company immediately called home to inquire and sent out police officers. The thief only had a few minutes to go in and get the goods. He grabbed some cigarettes and fled in a hurry. Fortunately, the insurance company fully compensated and no loss was caused.

No matter which country it is, there will inevitably be unstable factors of one kind or another. However, for students studying abroad, the most important thing is to have a strong sense of self-protection, keep themselves clean, and try their best to Avoid contact with dangerous people or things.

The above is an introduction to the fire safety knowledge that must be known in Canada. I hope it will be helpful to students who are interested in studying in Canada.
