Summer months are coming remember to assess all parts of how you do business,"Bunker gear may not be appropriate PPE for all incidents, considering the potential for heat stress, reduced mobility & added weight" https://t.co/9sw14zms8W https://t.co/FeNpTboGi2 @opffa @IAFFCanada

Firefighters die of cancer at a rate 4 times higher than the general population. Thank @opffa @MonteMcNaughton & @fordnation for inviting us to discuss cancer in the Fire Service but most importantly about our brother Bowman & ensure we take care of the families of our Fallen FF.
