Fully charged? Time to unplug.
Unplug your device as soon as the battery reaches full.
Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery.

Where you charge matters.
Charge large devices such as e-bikes, e-scooters and power tools outdoors whenever possible.
Never charge them in a doorway or hallway where they could block an exit in an emergency.

Never charge your phone on a bed, under a pillow or on other soft surfaces.

High-angle rescues require specialized training.
Using a ladder truck as a crane lets firefighters quickly reach and rescue patients trapped in hard-to-access places, such as vehicles over the side of a bridge or hanging over water.
Always prepared, always ready.
If you’re heading out to enjoy the river valley, remember that riverbanks can be slippery this time of year. 🌊
Be careful and avoid walking near the edge. Keep kids close, keep dogs leashed and if you see someone in distress, call 911.

We are aware of reports of an odour near 134 Ave & 149 St. Crews are investigating the source. Please keep 9-1-1 clear for emergencies. If you are affected, please confirm the odour is not originating from indoors, and then keep windows and doors closed.
Public safety technology never stops evolving and neither do we. 🚀
In our final episode of our five-part series, we look at how drones help our teams immediately visualize fire spread within a structure.
