Shhh the #ONMLFTUs are taking a well deserved rest for the winter. Many locations visited, over 5K trained and lots of new experiences and opportunities. 2024 is right around the corner but a sincere thanks to the #OFC for the leadership and the fire service for the commitment!

Dealing with haters can be a challenging task, but it is important to remember that their negativity is a reflection of their own insecurities. When faced with haters, it's crucial to stay confident and true to yourself.

Love the idea of the Relief Firefighter to fill in for full-time, save dollars in OT and keeps the volunteers engaged. Make them full-time employees with benefits, another great way to help with retention and morale. 17 employees for 40 000 pop. is enough according to arbitrator

Still rocking that shirt Chief, inspiring us all! See ya on the course!
