Do you know why Fire Prevention Week is always held in early October, during the full week that includes October 9, in both Canada and the United States?\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of October 9, 1871, when 250 people died, 100,000 were made homeless and 17,400 buildings were destroyed. In Quebec, the first Fire Prevention Week was held in 1990.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Governed by the <\/span>Canadian Aviation Regulations<\/em>, the primary mission of SIADM firefighters is to participate in aircraft fire suppression operations.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of the two airport sites – Montr\u00e9al-Trudeau and Montr\u00e9al-Mirabel – has its own fire station, strategically located near the runways, so that firefighters can respond to aircraft fires within a reasonable time. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each station has four teams of firefighters, working in shifts to provide protection 24 hours a day, seven days a week. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
