2/2 When lithium batteries fail to operate safely or are damaged, they present a fire hazard. Please keep our firefighters and community safe from these types of fires #ygk. Stay safe from all of us at KFR.
Yesterday, an e-bike battery started a five-alarm fire that destroyed a Bronx supermarket located on Grand Concourse and 181st Street. If you have an e-mobility device, check to see if your device is UL tested and certified. For more safety tips visit fdnysmart.org

1/2 This fire occurred in New York City yesterday and was caused by a lithium-ion battery. Please take a few minutes to watch both videos. We cannot stress this enough, follow the manufacturer instructions and only use the charger that came with your device.
Please watch this informative PSA brought to us by the very talented students at Gananoque Intermediate and Secondary School. Remember, in a fire every second counts have a home escape plan and practice it often!

It is with great sadness to inform of the passing of retired GFD firefighter Ed Dempster.
Ed began his career in 1966 and served as a firefighter with the Town of Gananoque for over 50 years. 37 years full time and 13+ years as a volunteer. Ed's dedication was second to none.
Smoking is the #1 cause of home fire deaths. Remember to always "watch your butt!" #firesafetytips
