Yesterday I was joined by Captain Craig Bowman's Family as I tabled the Captain Craig Bowman Act.

This bill if passed would change Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) regulations to ensure more firefighters have access to cancer care coverage.

Today, @ThoroldFire, @enbridgegas and @FMPFSC announced they are working together to improve home safety and bring fire and carbon monoxide-related deaths down to zero. #ENBfuelingfutures

@ThoroldFire members fought this fire for nearly 24 hours before extinguished.

[Welland Canal @wellandcanal]

On This Day 21 Years Ago - August 11, 2001, a 730-foot lake freighter (Windoc) collides with the Allanburg Bridge/Bridge 11 over the Welland Canal.

The accident resulted from the Bridge Operator (intoxicated) lowering the superstructure onto the vessel too soon.

As of July, there have been 76 fire-related fatalities in #Ontario. Fatal fires are far too common and can be prevented. Don't become a statistic - Develop a home fire escape plan and maintain your smoke alarms. #FireSafety
