Kidde Canada, a manufacturer of fire safety products, donated 3,000 smoke alarms to the Calgary Fire Department on Monday.

According to the Calgary Fire Department, most kitchen fires that first responders are called to start because of cooking ware being left unattended. 

Crews spoke of the importance of being prepared by looking, listening and learning. 

Calgarians need to be more careful when disposing of smoking materials, Calgary's fire chief said Monday.

Calgary fire crews were called to a two-alarm fire in Bridgeland early Monday morning.
