Welland Fire and Emergency Services has issued fines for two property owners in the last few weeks.
One location on Division Street included repeated violations involving a chained-shut main entrance, leading to a $13,500 fine after the property owner ignored warnings.
Another case on Scholfield Avenue revealed a complete lack of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, resulting in an $11,250 fine.
WFES is stressing that blocked exits and missing alarms can have deadly consequences during emergencies.
