Thanksgiving can be a busy time preparing dishes and getting ready for family and friends. When cooking on the stovetop, stay in the kitchen and focus on the food.
Unattended cooking can quickly lead to a fire. Keep fire safety on the menu—never leave your pan unattended. 🍽️🔥
Test Your Smoke Alarms Today!
Take a few minutes today to test your smoke alarms and make sure they are working properly. A working smoke alarm provides an early warning in the event of a fire and can give you and your family the precious time needed to get out safely.
Congratulations to Deputy Steve Hall on his last call and 32 years of dedicated service in the fire service! Thank you, Deputy Hall, for your commitment, dedication, and everything you have contributed throughout your career. All the best in your well-deserved retirement!

Have you heard of Ontario’s Slow Down, Move Over Law? Here’s what you should know:
When approaching an emergency vehicle with flashing red or red and blue lights, or a tow truck with flashing amber lights stopped on the side of the road, drivers are required by law to:
• slow down and proceed with caution
• if the road has two or more lanes and it’s safe to do so, move into the other lane to provide space. These measures help protect emergency response personnel.
Let’s all do our part to keep our first responders safe on our roads and highways!
