#PickeringFire invites you to participate in Ontario's first #TestYourSmokeAlarmDay on September 28! Test your alarms by pressing the 'test' button and listen for the beep! If the alarm doesn't sound, replace the batteries. If that doesn't work, replace the alarm #SavedByTheBeep

Teamed up with Steve Boyd & the #PickeringFireServices crew, for the #FireSafePickering educational campaign! 🚒👨‍🚒 We went door-to-door, spreading awareness about fire prevention & the importance of working smoke alarms. Visit Pickering.ca/FireSafe to learn more.

It's #CarbonMonoxideAwarenessWeek. CO is considered the 'silent killer' as it is an invisible, tasteless, and odourless gas that can poison and kill🚫 #PickeringFire is reminding you to get all fuel-burning appliances inspected annually✅ Stay tuned for safety tips all week!

In Ontario, more than 65 per cent of injuries and deaths from CO occur in homes. 🚫Never use a stove or oven to heat your home ✅Ensure you have a working CO alarm adjacent to each sleeping area - for added protection, install one on every storey #CarbonMonoxideAwarenessWeek

Keep fire safety top of mind when heating your home this holiday season! Leave at least one metre of distance between your heat sources (space heaters, wood stoves, and fireplaces) and flammable materials🔥 #PickeringFire #12DaysOfHolidaySafety

A big thankyou to our PPFA firefighters who are working today away from family and friends to keep our City of Pickering residents safe. Have a safe shift. 🇨🇦👩🏼‍🚒

Attending the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs (OAFC) Labour Relations Conference #LRS2024.

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

Happy 😊 #InternationalWomensDay  to all of our City of Pickering PPFA staff members who who proudly serve our community and keep it safe.

A big thank you to the guys ( Ryan Lloyd, Alex Gerzon, Sagar Patel, and Ankit Naik) from Bombay Frankies location in Town of Ajax for dropping by City of Pickering Fire Station 1 this morning and providing lunch for PPFA staff.

Thank you to everyone who attended Day 1 of the 2024 OAFC Conference. We hope to see everyone tonight on the Trade Show Floor for the reception sponsored by A.J. Stone Company and Canadian Safety Equipment. #OAFC2024

Congratulations to PPFA Training Officer Jesse Beudrow recognized at City of Pickering council this evening for being the recipient of the Ontario Firefighter Medal for Bravery.
