Before we get the next winter storm, take this slightly warmer week to change to your snow tires and prepare an emergency kit for your car. “Its better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it”

Many #RichmondHill students will be heading off to school this weekend. You've kept them safe for the first part of their lives, help keep them safe during the next phase...cuz you know safety won't be at the top of their priority list!

Chief Officers must ALWAYS demonstrate a love of the job and a positive attitude. If they aren’t/can’t do this..... it’s time to move on. Our next generation of firefighters deserve this. #Leadbyexample

Spending this #longweekend at the cottage or trailer? Memories made there are once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Having working smoke/CO alarms helps ensure more memories can be made.

Today take some time to talk with family and friends to stop charging electronic devices on or near soft surfaces such as couches, pillows and blankets. Cell phones and laptops can be extremely dangerous if heat vents are covered and will cause over heating and possible fire.

Our extra hot #June temperatures warrant these good #heat #safety reminders: 1. Stay hydrated and take breaks. 2. Check on elderly people & those without A/C. 3. Look before you lock - never leave pets or kids unattended in the car. 4. Limit strenuous outdoor activities.
Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove so no one can bump them or pull them over. #CookingSafety. Learn more: nfpa.org/cooking
