Domino’s Pizza and the Courtenay and Comox fire departments are once again partnering to reward residents who have working smoke alarms in their homes with free pizza, as part of Fire Prevention Week.

On Friday, October 10, when Comox and Courtenay residents in single residential homes, duplexes and townhouses call Domino’s Pizza between 5 and 9 p.m., they may find their pizza is delivered with the help of Comox or Courtenay firefighters.

Firefighters will arrive by fire truck and inspect household smoke alarms to make sure they are working.

Those with functioning smoke alarms will get their pizza for free. Households will be chosen at random and as resources are available.

If a smoke alarm requires new batteries, the fire fighters will replace them. For eligible residents without a working smoke alarm, firefighters may arrange for a return visit to install a battery-powered smoke alarm for free.

This is the ninth year the Courtenay Fire Department has partnered with Domino’s during Fire Prevention Week. Comox Fire Rescue joined the initiative in 2020.

Fire Prevention Week runs from October 5 to 11.

This year’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety!” The campaign works to educate everyone about using lithium-ion batteries safely.
