Courtenay, Comox Fire Departments 8th Annual Fire Prevention Week

It is Fire Prevention Week, and to celebrate, 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.

On Friday, October 13, when Comox and Courtenay residents in single residential homes, duplexes and townhouses call Domino’s Pizza between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., they may find their pizza is delivered with the help of Comox or Courtenay firefighters.

With the customer’s permission, fire fighters 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 eighth year the Courtenay Fire Department has partnered with Domino’s Pizza to reward customers with the potential for a free pizza during Fire Prevention Week. Comox Fire Rescue joined the initiative in 2020.

The Domino's on Ryan Road in Courtenay and at the Comox Mall are participating.

There will also be an open house at the Comox fire station (1870 Noel Avenue), on Saturday, October 14, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

This year’s national campaign focuses on cooking safety and the important actions residents can take to keep everyone in the house safe.
