Today we bid farewell to Chief Burgess and wish him a happy retirement. We also welcomed Chief Kaye to his new role. We are excited to continue to work with Chief Kaye to enhance the quality of services we provide and to better the lives of the members of this local.

Our Local 967 dispatchers are crucial to quickly get you the help you need. Their professionalism and skill are unmatched, and we are thankful daily that they are a part of our fire family. We wish them all a happy emergency service dispatcher and 9-1-1 awareness week!

Lots of snow on the roads this morning. If you can, it’s best to stay at home. #yyjtraffic

When using space heaters, keep them away from flammable items like drapes, furniture, and clothing that could easily catch on fire. Also, ensure not to place heaters in the doorways or the middle of the room to prevent a tripping hazard. #wintersafety

Take the time to defrost all your windows so you can drive safely. Those few minutes make all the difference to the safety of those on the roads with you.

We hope everyone has a safe, fun Halloween. Glowsticks and flashlights are a great way to keep yourself and others visible while trick-or-treating. Happy Halloween!

Getting ready for Halloween? A simple change from candles to battery or led candles can help prevent fires in the home.

With Halloween coming up, let's keep kids safe while out trick or treating. Part of the costume should be something that will keep your child visible in the dark. #halloweensafety
From our fire family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we honoured Retired AC Rick Shumka. He passed away from cancer he contracted from exposure to carcinogens while on the job. We will honour him by striving to reduce exposures and improve our decontamination when we are exposed. We will always remember you Brother Shumka.
