Unattended cooking is the leading cause of residential fires. Always be alert and in the kitchen when you cook. Fires can happen quickly! @ONFireMarshal @ONFireChiefs @OAFEOntario @cityofcambridge @NFPA

🚨 It’s 2025! Time to check the expiration on your smoke alarms!🚨 If your home was built in 2015, your smoke alarms are expiring soon (they only last 10 years). Check the date and replace them with the same level of protection: ✅ Hardwired with battery backup ✅ Strobe alarms for added visibility ✅ Interconnected alarms for full-home coverage Don’t wait until it’s too late—protect your home and family today! 🔁 Tag a friend who needs this reminder! #FireSafetyFirst #HomeSafety #InterconnectedAlarms #ReplaceYourAlarms #FirePrevention #2025Safety #FirefighterTips #cbridge

Cold water can be deadly in minutes! Our firefighters train for ice water rescues, but prevention is key: ⚠️ Stay off thin or unknown ice ⚠️ Keep children and pets away from waterways ⚠️ If you fall in—stay calm, keep your head above water, and call for help #IceSafety #ColdWaterRescue

Did you know? As part of a firefighter’s reclassification exam, one crucial skill they are tested on is donning their bunker gear—quickly and correctly. Every second matters in an emergency, so firefighters train to get fully geared up in under 90 seconds! Congratulations to firefighter Joey on passing your 2nd Class Firefighter exam! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence show in everything you do. Keep up the amazing work!

Our firefighters are out training for ice and water rescues to ensure we’re ready for any scenario. If you see us, remember—stay safe and stay away from waterways. Thin ice and freezing waters are unpredictable!
