Not every danger is obvious after a summer storm. Some storms can leave power lines damaged or hanging lower than usual. Treat every power line as if it’s energized.

• Never touch, walk or drive under a low hanging wire.
• Stay at least 10 metres away from damaged poles, trees and wires.
• Report low-hanging or downed lines immediately to 911 and your local electricity provider.

Help save lives by sharing this with someone who spends time outdoors.

After a storm, you could come across fallen powerlines in your neighbourhood. Don't get close. Stay back at least 10 metres.

As families wind down for the evening, remember: most fatal fires happen at night while people are sleeping. 🛌
That’s why Test Your Smoke Alarm Day matters. Press the test button, hear the beep, and make sure your home is protected before bedtime.

Realistic training saves lives. 🧑‍🚒
Acquired structures give firefighters real-world spaces to practice critical skills—search, hoseline work, comms & SOPs.

Even without live fire, it's the most effective prep we can do: https://t.co/uC0PKmrRY2

Staying warm while having a cigarette doesn’t have to be difficult this time of year, but please don’t smoke in the garage! Smoking remains the leading cause of fatal house fires in Ontario. #FireSafety

6 weeks into 2025 and we’ve seen 12 fatal fires. Fire doesn’t stop, particularly in the winter months. Our thoughts are with the families, communities, investigators and first responders affected by these tragic events. @ONFireMarshal urges everyone to have a working smoke alarm.

As the polar vortex brings frigid temperatures to parts of Ontario, stay warm and safe. Stay 10 meters back from downed power lines. They may look harmless, but they can be dangerous. Learn more: https://t.co/PcypgKYsPx

Cigarettes are Ontario’s number one cause of fatal fires. Smoke outside using deep, sturdy ashtrays. Never flick your butt – a lit butt might be the difference between a holiday to remember and a holiday you’ll never forget. Make the holidays happy with working smoke alarms!

Keep fire safety in mind when digging out from a #WinterStorm. ❄️☃️
Clearing a path to and around a fire hydrant on or near your property can help save lives. Fire hydrants blocked by snow or ice will delay firefighters. In the case of a fire, every second counts.

Today, we remember the Charleston 9 and urge everyone to review the NIOSH report that examined this tragedy and apply lessons learned so that we do not repeat them. The report is here: https://t.co/97yv6PvWSf

JUST IN: Dashcam footage released of the semi-truck that launched over the edge of the 2nd Street Bridge in Kentucky.

33-year-old Trevor W. Branham has been charged for the crash.

Branham's Chevrolet truck can be seen speeding and swerving before weaving out of the way to avoid a stalled car in the right lane.

He then struck a Sysco semi tractor-trailer driven by 26-year-old Sydney Thomas, sending her over the edge and hanging over the river.

Branham was charged with 4 counts of wanton endangerment and 1 count of operating on a suspended license.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges and is now in a wheelchair because of the crash.

🔥🍔 Happy National BBQ Day, fellow grill masters! While you're firing up those grills, remember: #FireSafety is the secret sauce! Have water or a fire extinguisher within reach because your grilling reputation should be the only thing on fire! #NationalBBQDay 🔥🌭

A big part of #FireSafety includes practicing battery safety.

Never charge your phones or electronic devices under your pillows at night. Phones, tablets & laptops should be charged by placing all devices on a hard and stable surface.
