Welland Fire and Emergency Services does not endorse a specific brand of fire safety products.

The department has issued a warning on its social media pages.

It says some companies in the Niagara Region have claimed to have a working relationship with the department, but that is not true.

If a door-to-door salesman or a telemarketer claims to be working closely with a fire department or a government agency, you should contact that fire department or government agency before purchasing anything.

The product could be overpriced or possibly even unnecessary.
