Guess who's back? Both of our MLFTUs are out of winter hibernation and we did some refresher training this week. Ready to hit the road in the next couple of weeks for our 2023 season. If you see us on the road, tag us in your photos! #ONMLFTU #firefightertraining

These units help support crucial training to every FD but especially smaller ones. Had our turn last year & hoping to catch it on the next go around in ‘24. Make sure you #TagTheDoor with your crest so we can see where it’s been. #firefighter #ONMLFTU

Things change quickly in the fire service. We spent Wednesday night volunteering as honorary Moosonee Firefighters helping setup evacuation centres for approx 400 people affected by the Fort Albany First Nations forest fires. We were happy to help.

The most important aspect of training is safety. OFC Instructors Andrew Blair and Tim Beebe explain and demomstrate the proper way to decon and remove gear when exiting our #ONMLFTU.

The #TestYourSmokeAlarmDay campaign would not be possible without the leadership of Jon Pegg and the creative vision of Aman Kainth and our entire Pub Ed and Comms team. We have one week to go to really rally support for this day of action! Let's go #Ontario!

My firefighter 1 students from Atikokan, Nolalu, East Gorham, Upsala, Nipissing and Greenstone wanted to send a message to everyone as they successfully completed their FF 1 training. #SavedByTheBeep #ofc #firetraining #teamwork #smokealarmssavelives

As families wind down for the evening, remember: most fatal fires happen at night while people are sleeping. 🛌 That’s why Test Your Smoke Alarm Day matters. Press the test button, hear the beep, and make sure your home is protected before bedtime. #SavedByTheBeep #Family

Little hands + holiday heat = danger. Keep kids at least one metre away from the stove, turn pot handles inward and keep cords out of reach. Instead, give kids safe tasks like mixing or decorating. Supervise closely. Let’s keep Ontario’s families safe this season.
