Kenora Fire Chief Warren Brinkman says he can't issue that warning enough.
Brinkman says it's an easy process and will help keep you safe if a fire does start in your home.
He notes that alarms must be installed on every floor of a home and recommends one outside everything bedroom.
Brinkman also recommends a chimney and furnace inspection during this cold spell hitting the region.
He issued the warning after 2 more properties were destroyed in the area just before new year's and a business was lost early this morning.
