Following this week’s snowfall, Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service (VFRS) is reminding residents to ensure their exterior vents and exhaust pipes for the dryer, furnace, stove and fireplace are clear of snow and ice to prevent carbon monoxide (CO) buildup in the home – which can be deadly. 

Cleanup following this week’s snowfall continues. Road safety is the priority today – and City of Vaughan crews are actively out clearing the way. Spot salting on sidewalks and clearing efforts on sidewalks will continue as needed. 

Did you know that you have a role to play during winter operations as a resident of Vaughan? If you have a fire hydrant, sidewalk or catch basin near your property, you are responsible for clearing them of snow and ice. 

Winter is here and we are in the middle of another snowfall! To help everyone respond, the City of Vaughan is reminding residents that snow does NOT belong on the road. In fact, it’s against the law to place it there. 

The City of Vaughan is working around the clock to help keep the community safe. Winter efforts are in full force as crews began a city-wide plowing, salting and windrow-clearing operation on main public roads and sidewalks early this morning. Cleanup will continue on secondary roads, sidewalks and City park paths this afternoon.
