Saint John Fire Prevention Officer Roy Nolan tells CHSJ News this week it's a good time to think about fire safety.
Nolan adds most people have less than three minutes to realize what is happening and get out of a fire safely. Last year, fires were started with people using cooking equipment to thawing pipes and from not cleaning out their chimneys.
Information sessions are coming up this week at McAllister Place,the City Market and in local schools.
