Communication matters.

An Ottawa Police officer noticed an elderly woman who appeared lost.

It was getting dark, and the temperature was dropping.

The officer realized she didn’t speak English, and enabled language interpretation technology on his body-worn camera.

Officers can connect with people in over 50 languages at the press of a button.

Understanding each other clearly helped the woman explain what she needed.

The officer was able to clearly explain how he could help her.

Language should never be a barrier to getting help.

Interpretation technology helps us better serve Ottawa’s diverse community.

Tools like this help ensure everyone in our community can be heard.

La communication, c’est important.

Un agent de la Police d’Ottawa remarqua une aînée qui paraissait égarée.

La nuit tombait et la température chutait.

L’agent comprit qu’elle ne parlait pas l’anglais, et il activa la fonction d’interprétation linguistique de sa caméra d’intervention.

En appuyant simplement un bouton, les agents peuvent communiquer avec les gens dans plus d’une cinquantaine de langues.

Maintenant qu’il se comprenaient clairement, la femme expliqua à l’agent ce dont elle avait besoin.

L’agent put lui expliquer clairement comment il pouvait lui être utile.

La langue ne devrait jamais nous empêcher d’obtenir de l’aide.

La technologie d’interprétation nous permet de mieux servir la collectivité diverse d’Ottawa.

De tels outils aident à faire en sorte que chaque membre de notre collectivité puisse être entendu et compris.

Sachez-en plus sur la façon dont nous utilisons la technologie au service des gens d’Ottawa: https://t.co/kLTpH96TCm.

Firefighters battled a fully engulfed bungalow yesterday afternoon in the 5900 block of Prince of Wales Drive.

At approximately 15:07, the Ottawa Fire Services Communications Division received multiple 9-1-1 calls reporting that a single-family bungalow was completely on fire. The initial caller, a neighbour, reported that “the whole house is on fire,” which was confirmed by subsequent callers.

Firefighters arrived on scene within three minutes of dispatch and confirmed heavy fire conditions, with flames venting through the roof. Two occupants had safely evacuated prior to our arrival and were assessed by our partners at @OttawaParamedic.

Crews immediately encountered significant hazards. An arcing powerline had burned through and fallen at the front of the home, creating a dangerous condition. During suppression efforts, a second live hydro line also came down, adding to the risks on scene.

Firefighters advanced multiple hose lines around the structure to conduct a defensive attack. As the area does not have fire hydrants, tanker trucks were used to shuttle water from a nearby source to sustain firefighting operations.

Due to the extensive fire involvement throughout the home, crews were unable to make entry to conduct interior searches. The occupants confirmed they were the only two people inside at the time of the fire.

An aerial ladder was deployed to attack the fire from above. The fire was declared under control at 18:10.

An excavator was later brought in to assist with overhaul operations, allowing Firefighters to access and extinguish remaining hot spots and prevent flare-ups.

An @OttFire Investigator was dispatched to determine the cause and origin of the fire. #OttNews

‼️‼️‼️PLEASE SHARE‼️‼️‼️

Today one of our Sector Chiefs encountered an 11-year-old skating on unsafe ice at Mahogany Landing in Manotick and asked him to leave due to open water.

We’ve seen many community groups raise concerns about kids on unsafe ice.

Please stay off the ice.

No ice is safe ice. 🚫🧊🚫

Our Structural Collapse Team was dispatched after a vehicle struck a home yesterday afternoon in #Ottawa.

At approximately 16:46, the Ottawa Fire Services Communications Division received a call from our partners at @OttawaPolice requesting assistance for a vehicle that had driven into a home in the 100 block of Queen Mary Street. Firefighters arrived on scene four minutes after being dispatched and confirmed a cargo van had driven through a cedar hedge and into the garage of a two-storey single-family home.

The driver, who was the only occupant of the van, was not trapped and was able to  exit the vehicle. Crews shut off the vehicle, entered the home to check for any hazards, and confirmed that no residents were inside after speaking with the homeowner who arrived shortly after.

Structural damage was identified on the west side of the garage and the house. The Structural Collapse Team was dispatched to evaluate the damage and found that a central I-beam was no longer supported after the van had pushed out a two-ply 2x4 post. The team inspected the interior and confirmed there was no additional damage to the main structure or the second floor above the garage.

Crews used cribbing and two large 4x4 wedges to support the I-beam until the van could be removed. Once the vehicle was cleared, a two-post T-shore was installed to provide proper support for the beam. A City of Ottawa engineer was called to the scene, and hydro crews disconnected power to the home as a safety precaution. Caution tape was placed around the garage area before we cleared the scene. #OttNews

Firefighters safely extricated a trapped driver from their vehicle after a collision in the City's South End yesterday.

At approx. 16:02 yesterday, the Ottawa Fire Services Communications Division received a call from our partners at the @ottawapolice requesting us to respond to the intersection of 9th Line Rd & parkway Rd for a motor vehicle collision. Firefighters arrived on scene 3min after being dispatched to the call and confirmed a three-vehicle collision with one driver trapped inside their vehicle. Firefighters assessed and treated the driver in the trapped vehicle who had suffered injuries due to  the collision. Patient care was transferred to @ottawaparamedic upon their arrival. The vehicle with the trapped driver was stabilized prior to beginning the extrication process. A hose line was advanced as a precaution. Specialized tools were used to safely remove the trapped driver. Firefighters disconnected the batteries of all the vehicles and spread absorbent on the leaking fluids prior to clearing the scene. #OttNews
