We are incredibly proud of @ChiefPeggTFS who has been named the 6th most influential person in the @cityoftoronto alongside Dr. @epdevilla for their tireless leadership in the City’s response to the #COVID19 global pandemic. Honoured to serve with these dedicated public servants.

@NorfolkEMS Congratulations all.

Often called the silent killer, CO is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels burn incompletely. Heating & cooking equipment can be sources of CO. If your CO alarm sounds, go outside and call 911 @ChiefPeggTFS @TFSDeputyChief

With 123,000 already with their first dose, we're closing in on that target.

October is Women’s History Month where we celebrate women who are making history, now. Deputy Chief ⁦@debbiejhiggins⁩ is the highest ranking woman in our Service. She holds the Administrative portfolio and is a @FSWOntario Board member. #WomenOfImpact #WomensHistoryMonth

[Colin Giffin (he/him) (2x Vax) @TFSColinGiffin]

@Toronto_Fire @debbiejhiggins @FSWOntario Proud to work for, and beside, this dedicated and skilled Fire Service Manager. Gender aside, one of the finest Deputy Chiefs I have had the pleasure to have known.

[Colin Giffin (he/him) (2x Vax) @TFSColinGiffin]

Today, Ontario's firefighters and their families, remember and recognize the individual and ultimate sacrifice that accompanies our honoured profession. Please respect a moment of silence, at 1pm, for those firefighters who gave their life in the service of their communities.

Although more people are surviving after a breast cancer diagnosis, breast cancer remains the most common and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Make a donation this month to change this.

This is great to see.
All female fire and medic crews.
Graham Fire and Rescue. (Washington State).
I'm hoping that this has occurred, here, in Canada too.
Somehow, I think it has.
