Alarmed for Life focuses on smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. We provide, locate, install and maintain smoke and CO alarms and ensure residents are complying with the laws. Firefighters go door to door and offer a friendly alarm check. We also deliver this program after responding to a fire emergency.

Camp Molly is a four-day camp that provides an opportunity for young women and non-binary youth to meet and engage with strong role models in their community. This entire camp experience is free and aims to inspire young people to pursue a career in Fire and Emergency Services.
In 2024, Severn Fire participated in Camp Molly through a joint initiative between Fire and Emergency Services departments in the Townships of Severn, Oro-Medonte, Ramara, Rama Fire Rescue, the City of Orillia, and the National Indigenous Fire Safety Council.
For more information and to register for future sessions visit the Camp Molly website.
Sightline to Safety helps people who are deaf or hard of hearing prepare for an emergency. This includes getting devices to assist with early warning and escape. We developed this program with the Canadian Hearing Society to improve confidence and reduce anxiety towards fire.
