Freezing rain can bring down powerlines. If you see a downed wire stay back, call 911 & the local utility: More storm safety tips: https://t.co/5feNYpGuIl

If you smoke, do it with caution. @OshawaFire suspects early morning blaze was caused by a carelessly discarded cigarette. Be mindful of where you're butting out! And check your smoke alarms! #fireprevention #firesafety #smokingsafety #buttout https://t.co/iss3h5d3AH

#FireMasterPlans provide #Council & #FireDepts with strategies for the delivery of local fire protection services. The best plans only work if you participate by having #WorkingSmokeAlarms #HomeEscapePlans and make #FireSafety a priority @ONFireChiefs @TwpofScugog

Once in a while an unscheduled “make up session” is always helpful. https://t.co/rkNfU382kx

I've found that some of the best company training is just "open gym" style - letting firefighters practice skills they're struggling on. Like a basketball player shooting hoops! #FEtalk

[For Them Training @ForThemTraining]

One of the best things an officer can do, when appropriate, is to create a training environment where mistakes are allowed and even encouraged - If people are too afraid to make a mistake the environment isn't optimal for learning! #FETALK

According to national weather advisories, near zero visibility expected as areas of dense fog develop across the region. The fog will lift later this morning. Until then, drive with care. #fog #RoadSafety #HappeningNow Slow Down & Arrive Alive.
