"There is always a pressure to reduce costs in the fire department by city management. We need to change the perception that the fire service costs a lot of money, to that our fire service provides good value," - Larry Thomas, Deputy Chief @BCFireChiefs #BCFireLeadership #BCPFFA

[Powell River FF @IAFF1298]

@firechiefwood @bcpffa Bill was the steady leader in our organization. He was hard working, level headed, ethical, respectful, always about integrity, and always about due process. Never letting ego get in the way of what is right. An example for the rest of us! Congratulations Bill on your retirement!

A great read that brings to light the dangers these chemicals carry. Read the report chemical companies don’t want you to understand. These chemicals are killing fire fighters https://t.co/yl0gj3eykW

[BCPFFA @bcpffa]

The BCPFFA remembers those who have lost their lives on the job, and we renew our commitment to creating safer workplaces for fire fighters and all workers.

Even if you haven’t been following the Provincial Health Officer’s direction on social distancing, now is the time for every British Columbian to do so.

Do it for the ones you love. Do it for the ones you don’t know. We need everyone together in this response.

I love promotional ceremonies!

Formal, distinguished recognition of the achievements of our @VanFireRescue members in front of their peers, family & friends.

Except Lt. Ferris, of course. He’s a hugger.

(Truth-it’s very cool to honour a great person you’ve known a long time!)
