Honoured to attend the farewell for @LGLizDowdeswell today. Your Honour, on behalf of the women and men of Ontario’s Fire Service, thank you for your incredible support and care. I wish you all the very best

Fatal fires rose last year and though fatalities are down from 2022, the increase in fatal fires is extremely troubling. Each death is a loved one and together we can lower fatal fires in our communities! Test smoke alarms monthly and practice a home fire escape plan. #FireSafety

Join us Office of the Fire Marshal on May 22, 2024, for the Charged for LiFE symposium. Lithium-ion batteries pose a growing challenge to the fire service. It's crucial that we find ways to keep Ontario safe from these fires. Let's meet this challenge head-on together.

Proud to work with amazing and talented women at @ONfiremarshal and the ON Fire Service.  Being an ally to women extends beyond March 8th, so let's make the shift to be inclusive by recognizing their hard work and celebrating the strides women have made in fire safety! #IWD2024

September 28 is Test Your Smoke Alarm Day. Under the Ontario Fire Code, you must have a working smoke alarm outside every sleeping area in your home and at least one working smoke alarm on every storey that does not contain a sleeping area. #SavedByTheBeep ontario.ca/page/office-fi…

#FirePreventionWeek is almost here. This year's theme, "Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work for You!™," is a rallying cry for every household in Ontario. The grim reality is that most fatal fires occur in homes without working smoke alarms. News release: newswire.ca/news-releases/…

Today, we remember Ontario’s fallen firefighters—not just for what they did, but for who they were: selfless protectors who answered every call. To their families: your strength inspires us all. We stand with you today and always. #HeroesInLife #OPFFA2024 #HeroesAmongUs

Today, I was honoured to serve as Master of Ceremonies for the Ontario Fallen Firefighters Memorial. We honoured 73 courageous individuals who served their communities. May we never forget the commitment they made to community safety and may we continue to support their families.

This is extremely important. Please don’t go another minute without knowing you have working smoke alarms and everyone in your home knows and practices your home escape plan. Fire can happen to any of us - please be prepared!

Honoured to throw the ceremonial first pitch for the Toronto Blue Jays today at Rogers Centre! #Baseball is all about practice and preparation—so is fire safety. Know your home fire escape plan and test your smoke alarms every month! ⚾🔥 #LetsGoBlueJays #TestYourSmokeAlarms #FireSafety

Parents: A new social media “challenge” involves tampering with Chromebook batteries—and it’s already led to fire incidents. Talk to your teen. This is more than a bad idea—it’s a serious fire hazard. #ChromebookChallenge Education Ontario
