This #Canada Road Safety Week keep a keen eye out for flashing green lights! #Ontario 's volunteer firefighters use flashing green lights when responding to emergencies in personal vehicles. If you see flashing green lights, please yield or pull over when it is safe to do so.

@mjluke89 Hi Michael, we think you have us confused with the OAFC soccer club ... our organization is also OAFC, but we refer to the Ontario (Canada) Association of Fire Chiefs. Sorry, we don’t know if Doyle is coming back or not 👎🏻

Ontario Government just announced that they will be introducing legislation to amend the FPPA to allow municipalities to employ fulltime FF who volunteer in their own or other communities (double-hatting) and reforms to interest arbitration. More to come! Stay tuned!

Today we honour the memory of the 3,000 innocent people who lost their lives due to acts of senseless violence 18 years ago. But let us also remember the brave first responders who selflessly gave everything to save as many as possible. #NeverForget #September11

Our extra hot #June temperatures warrant these good #heat #safety reminders: 1. Stay hydrated and take breaks. 2. Check on elderly people & those without A/C. 3. Look before you lock - never leave pets or kids unattended in the car. 4. Limit strenuous outdoor activities.

If you’re spending time at a cabin, cottage, trailer or RV for #CanadaDay , make sure that wherever you’re staying is #firesafe . That means working smoke & CO alarms. Don’t forget to make & practise an escape plan, too! Here’s how: @ONsafety @OFLSE

Sprinklers improve the health & safety of residents & firefighters by controlling the spread of deadly heat, flames & smoke. This gives residents + time to escape, limits property damage & better contains fire by time FD on scene to extinguish! @dspeedwfes

It's long time the stigma behind mental health and wellness ended. You look after your physical health, why not your mental health? #EndTheStigma #LetsTalk @Bell_LetsTalk
