Crews responded to a report of an air conditioner fire on the 200 block of Callaway Road.

A quick attack knock down the fire,
Preventing significant damage.
Crews completed, overhaul, ventilation, and air monitoring of adjacent units.
No injuries were reported. One cat was safely rescued and reunited with its owner. 🚒🐈

With the summer heat, air conditioners are working overtime. Help prevent fires by unplugging units directly into a wall unit outlet, keeping filters, clean, avoiding overloading, extension, cords, and turning the unit off if you notice smoke, burning, smells, or unusual noises.
Test your smoke alarms monthly and always have an escape plan.>jb

Busy day for B platoon crews today, but we still made time to train, connect with the community, and share important fire safety messages.
As we head into summer vacation season, we remind everyone to stay fire safe at home and on the go. ✅🔥

[LPS Chief Thai Truong @LPSChiefTruong]

We are deeply saddened by the line-of-duty death of Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane of the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal.

He courageously lost his life protecting his community. This is a heartbreaking and powerful reminder that, perhaps now more than ever, police officers continue to face real danger in service to others, and that their families, colleagues, and communities carry the weight of that sacrifice.

Our thoughts are with Constable Benredouane’s family, loved ones, and all members of the @SPVM. We are also thinking of his injured colleague who remains in hospital, the uninvolved citizen who tragically lost their life, and everyone impacted by this devastating incident.

On behalf of the London Police Service, we extend our deepest condolences to the @SPVM and the Montréal community. We stand with you, and with all of our policing partners, in grief, respect, and solidarity.

Crews responded to a monitor alarm in the 1200 block of Richmond Street. Upon arrival, firefighters investigated and located smoke in the first floor hallway.

The fire originated on the stove top and extended into the cupboards. Crews quickly advanced and extinguished the fire, preventing further spread and significant damage.
One occupant was assessed by EMS for smoke inhalation and minor burns, and was later released.

This incident serves as an important reminder that unattended cooking remains one of the leading causes of residential fires. Always stay in the kitchen when cooking, keep combustibles items away from the stove, top, and never leave cooking unattended.>jb
