Little hands + holiday heat = danger. Keep kids at least one metre away from the stove, turn pot handles inward and keep cords out of reach. Instead, give kids safe tasks like mixing or decorating. Supervise closely. Let’s keep Ontario’s families safe this season.

As families wind down for the evening, remember: most fatal fires happen at night while people are sleeping. 🛌 That’s why Test Your Smoke Alarm Day matters. Press the test button, hear the beep, and make sure your home is protected before bedtime. #SavedByTheBeep #Family

The #TestYourSmokeAlarmDay campaign would not be possible without the leadership of @jonpeggOFM and the creative vision of @AmanKainth and our entire Pub Ed and Comms team. We have one week to go to really rally support for this day of action! Let's go #Ontario!
One week away from our first ever #TestYourSmokeAlarmDay. Thanks to everyone in Ontario and abroad for promoting this campaign and the important message that it delivers. Test your smoke alarm and make fire safety a priority in your home. Together, we will reverse the trend!

Things change quickly in the fire service. We spent Wednesday night volunteering as honorary Moosonee Firefighters helping setup evacuation centres for approx 400 people affected by the Fort Albany First Nations forest fires. We were happy to help.

These units help support crucial training to every FD but especially smaller ones. Had our turn last year & hoping to catch it on the next go around in ‘24. Make sure you #TagTheDoor with your crest so we can see where it’s been. #firefighter #ONMLFTU
What a day of training on the @ONFireMarshal’s mobile live fire training unit #ONMLFTU. Firefighters from #NorthernBrucePeninsula, #SouthBrucePeninsula, #Neyaashiinigmiing & #ArranElderslie have been training the last two days with more #BruceCounty FFs to come this week.
