Very appreciative of this partnership with @enbridgegas and @FMPFSC . These alarms will be used in high risk areas of our community. Thank you!
Thank you to @enbridgegas for the donation of 246 combination smoke & carbon monoxide alarms. The donation is part of Safe Community Project Zero - public education campaign with @FMPFSC which will see 14,500 alarms donated to 75 Ontario communities this year #ENBFuelingFutures

A fitting and solemn tribute. Craig was a funny and kind person. A pleasure to be around. A great fire service officer and an outstanding human being. My thoughts are with his family.
On May 21, 2023, @WellandFire Captain Craig Bowman passed away due to occupational cancer. Today, Craig’s name was added to the IAFF Memorial in Colorado to be honoured among the names of other fallen firefighters who gave their lives in the line of duty.

Incredibly proud of our team for their valiant efforts that day. Excellent situational awareness! Our team operates with professionalism each day achieving incredible things, but it’s important to recognize exceptional and courageous conduct while serving our city. Well done !
Today we recognize 4 of our firefighters for saving the life of a person in distress. The crew was travelling between stations when they saw a person in crisis & stopped to help. They acted quickly & were able to save the person from the water & get them the care that was needed

Install them!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if airline pilots taught fire safety? We didn't think so, but we made a video about it anyway. Please enjoy.🤣 Install smoke alarms in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. #workingsmokealarmssavelives

Our fire prevention team continues their important work in our city. We educate and inform owners and occupants of their responsibilities. Sometimes, despite this, some choose to remain non-compliant. Our staff are committed to making buildings in our city fire safe! It works!

Thinking of his family and friends, both within WFES and in the Niagara community.
Craig Bowman was a dedicated firefighter, an outstanding Captain, and an even better person. He's missed by all who knew him. Craig passed away from occupational cancer on 5/21/2023. He gave his life serving our community & his sacrifice will not be forgotten. Our brother forever

The answer is always “yes”. Install working smoke alarms!
Do you require working smoke alarms where you live? We could use charts and grafts to explain it but the simple answer is "yes". Always yes. No exceptions. Yes, you must have working smoke alarms where you live. Good talk. :)
