EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS WEEK - Do you have an emergency survival kit at home? Your emergency survival kit should have everything you and your family would need to be safe and take care of yourselves for at least three days immediately following an emergency. #EPWeek2019
Come and join us on Sunday, June 9th at the Tim Horton's Dome in Alexandria, from 12:00 to 2:30 to support the annual #WalkforAlzheimers! We will be answering questions, offering fire safety information, displaying one of our trucks, and rumor has it, #Sparky might show up! Yay!
A huge shout out to all the volunteers who make the Raisin River Canoe Race such a success every year. OPP Aux., St. John Amb, ARES, South Glengarry and South Stormont Fire and most of all, the dedicated staff @raisinregion.
We have instituted a temporary ban on new burn events due to the high wind and dry conditions. Reminder burn permits are required for all burning within the Township
Residents need to be aware that despite our best efforts we may not be able to arrive in time to rescue them due to how quickly a fire can grow in a modern home. Smoke Alarms & self-evacuation are critical to ensure that you and your family escape a fire unharmed #SmokeAlarmMonth
The SGFS along side NGFD Stn 2 attended a structure fire on Squire Rd. this evening. Heavy winds hampered early attempts to extinguish. A crew will maintain a fire watch thru the night.
Merci @ESCLeRelais pour nous avoir accueilli et de nous avoir offert l’opportunité de discuter l’importance des plans d'évacuations résidentielles, le fonctionnement d'extincteurs portatifs, et de démontrer notre équipement. Le niveaux de participation étaient merveilleux!
Thank you to those who have adopted a hydrant & are a #hydranthero. Here are measurement details. 1.5 m allows firefighters to use the tools they need. Access to the road is crucial to ensure a charged hose isn't diverted. Thank you again everyone for your help #helpushelpyou

While you’re out cleaning your lane way and local fire hydrant, take a minute to clean around your furnace and hot water tank vents!
Protect yourself and your loved ones from #carbonmonoxide poisoning.
Le monoxyde de carbone (CO), qu’on appelle souvent le « tueur silencieux », est un gaz incolore, insipide et inodore. Il est un produit de la combustion incomplète de combustibles comme le propane, l’essence, le gaz naturel, le mazout de chauffage ou le bois.
