As we celebrate #FamilyDay2021 I would ask that you do a simple task that could ensure your family is safe.

Check your #SmokeAlarms...
Check your parents #SmokeAlarms...
Check your kids #SmokeAlarms...

Only #WorkingSmokeAlarms will provide the early detection to escape a fire.

“Shower Within the Hour”

[Responder Wipes @responderwipes]

The most pressing concern upon returning to the fire station is cleaning you. You are the most important tool on that apparatus, & you take the top priority of getting clean. You quicker you can remove the contaminates the less you will absorb. #ShowerWithinTheHour #DidYouDecon

WoW! This is powerful information about the cost to treat cancer versus the cost to reduce the risk!!

[Canadian Fire & Rescue @fire_canadian]

“In interviews, several members, who CBC News agreed not to name because of fear of workplace retribution, said even to this day, the N-word is occasionally tossed around casually inside fire stations.”

[FirefighterCloseCall @TheSecretList]

Fire chief acknowledges culture of racism, 'fear of retaliation' within fire halls https://t.co/nimsDBdlDY @IAFC @IAFC_SHS @CdnFireChiefs #firefighter #firechief

[Canadian Fire & Rescue @fire_canadian]

Make sure your bunker gear has TWICE a year advanced cleaning. Station extractors do NOT provide advanced cleaning, routine cleaning only. There is a difference! Check out NFPA 1851-2020

[OPFFA @opffa]

fire fighters are more likely to be diagnosed with certain types of cancer than the general public.

[Fire Department Safety Officers Association (FDSOA @FDSOApubs]

COMING SOON: FDSOA is starting a new program called Wellness Wednesdays. Look for short videos that can help make firefighters healthier, safer and better prepared to do their job. Watch this space! #WellnessWednesday

[Howick Fire @HowickFire]

Take a break from all the screen time while you #StayHome Gather the family around to Plan & Practice a Home Fire Escape Plan today. It could save your life tonight. #FireSafety @HPPublicHealth @ONFireMarshal

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

The @ONFireMarshal & Office of the Chief Coroner have determined dry Christmas trees caused two recent fatal fires in Ontario. Five people have lost their lives. A dry tree can catch fire & spread in seconds. Trees must be watered frequently & dry trees removed asap. #firesafety

Please RETWEET

We have over 120 volunteer 🚒 firefighters in Muskoka Lakes.

GREEN FLASHING LIGHTS are used on their personal vehicles to let drivers know they’re responding.

Pull to the right and let them proceed safely when you see them.

Let’s talk about after fire shower protocol. What soap do you use? Think of it as a good, better, best choice...

[Chief Greg Ankenmann @GregAnkenmann]

Perth County has one of the best 911 addressing systems around. Systematic measuring. Lines East to West. Roads South to North. NO Names! No Confusion! Now better with the Line or Road marked on the 4 digit address. Making it even easier for Emergency Services to find you!

[Office of the Fire Marshal @ONFireMarshal]

Representatives from @ONFireMarshal were in Bruce County today finalizing an agreement to establish a new Regional Training Centre. This new RTC will assist us in continuing to deliver affordable, attainable and accessible training to Ontario’s fire service.

[Canadian Fire & Rescue @fire_canadian]

@ChiefBillHunter Beautiful 👍

[Oakville Fire Dept @oakvillefire]

Fires caused by candles are easily preventable. Keep lit candles safely away from children and pets. Blow candles out before leaving the room. Flameless candles are a much better choice for a fire safe home.

[Norfolk County Fire Department @NorfolkCoFire]

Someone didn't remember to stop, drop and roll.

[Canadian Fire & Rescue @fire_canadian]

🎄 🎁 👍

[Sani Gear @SaniGear]

Do you have a hard to buy for person to buy for? We still have some of the bags of DETOX soap remaining for stocking stuffers. For the firefighter to get the smoke smell off their skin, the mechanic to remove oils from hands, or clear blemished skin... $20 plus shipping.

[Rob Martin @Rob_Martin101]
