The women & men of Vancouver Fire Rescue Services stand with our sisters & brothers at Long Beach Fire following today’s tragic events. We mourn with you at the loss of Captain Rosa. Our thoughts are with your injured member, the injured civilian, & their families. Van Fire Fighters @lbfd #VFRS x.com/lbfd/status/10…

On call crew definitely had their work cut out for them this weekend. Very tired group. Great job by all. #slavelake #slavefire

If this young lady wants to be a Vancouver Fire Rescue Services #firefighter when she grows up I will be excited! As a #FireChief, I want more women to achieve fire service careers! As her #Dad, I know she’d get to do rewarding work surrounded by amazing people! #WeAreHiring #Diversity #VFRS

Chiefs must lead by example & set the proper tone, but the firehouse is where the rubber meets the road. Leadership must begin here. This is why the Capt/Lt is so critical: they can make or break the service provided & are the ones mentoring the rookies, your department’s future!

Thank you Ryan Jespersen & 630CHED for giving me the opportunity to talk about some things that matter a lot to me! #firefighters #BCWildfires #cancer #MentalHealth #PTSD #SlaveLake Vancouver Fire Rescue Services Van Fire Fighters #VFRS #ProudChief omny.fm/shows/ryan-jes…

It was a beautiful day to be outdoors, and everywhere you went, #DCsBravest Community Outreach Team was there. We look forward to seeing you at more events on Sunday. #SaferStrongerDC

#HappyFamilyDay The perfect day to check your smoke/CO alarms & practice home escape plans to keep your family safe! #FireSafety

The preservation of human life, at the risk of our own, must be our default position.

Help end the stigma around mental illness. It’s easier than you think! One of the biggest hurdles for anyone suffering from mental illness is overcoming the stigma. #BellLetsTalk  #MentalHealth #PTSD #EndTheStigma

Always love a compliment. Firefighter training started today and got multiple comments “the trucks here are so clean and shiny”. Thanks to all the #firefighters here that #respect this equipment so much. Your job is noticed. #slavefire #slavelake #md124

This is the horrible burden of our work. You are not alone. You are loved, respected and appreciated. We are here for you. We need you back doing what you do, but only when you’re ready. IveGotYourBack911

An important thread and hopefully those who worked to save lives last night get a chance to read it. We grieve for the victims and their families, but we are also thinking of the first responders, hospitals staff, and members of the public who stopped to help. #prayforhumbolt x.com/GuscottJesse/s…
