Nishnawbe Aski Nation – In response to the Office of the Chief Coroner report, Nishnawbe Aski Nation and Chiefs of Ontario have identified the following priorities for major improvements to fire safety and prevention:
- Increase fire safety awareness and education through Amber’s Fire Safety
- Implement a standardized service delivery model across NAN
- Ensure community infrastructure and housing conditions are acceptable and built to code
- Fatal house fires are all too common in many First Nations due to overcrowding, poor housing conditions and a critical lack of fire safety and prevention services.
