Hey @worldcurling what’s up with this, they can’t be doing this as it’s against the rules.
I have heard of multiple reports of China burning rocks intentionally throughout the world curling championships. This one this morning the most egregious. And deliberate. I’ll be asking Switzerland ahead of the semifinal if they’ll be alerting the umpire to watch for this.

Hey @AirCanada great way to start off the holidays. You left 15%-25% of the planes luggage in YYZ going to YTS. You need to do better and hopefully it gets here tomorrow! #dobetter

Hey @CanadianTire purchased a Simoniz pressure washer in May and the internal hose blew apart. Great warranty from them saying an internal hose is an accessory. Two year warranty but not for the hose.

If you don’t have a tool in your hand and an SCBA on your back, you aren’t a firefighter; you’re a well informed bystander in expensive clothes.

This is great news for firefighters and the public. PFAs should be banned in Canada immediately. @CharlieAngusNDP @PierrePoilievre @JustinTrudeau Let’s do the right thing and work together to make this happen. environmentaldefence.ca/2024…

Having attending the HOC question period it is shameful how the PC party acts. Nobody is perfect but this is getting out of hand and I have been to many question periods provincially and federally and this last one was the worst DO BETTER! @PierrePoilievre
Another interesting article on how Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives are degrading public life with bush league insults and meanness. @StephanieKusie racks up another editorial on her dismal behaviour in Parliament. thespec.com/opinion/contribu…

Apparatus Crew Size Matters! - Firefighting is a science and having the right number of people respond when you call 911 shouldn’t be based on guesswork, political opinions or budget numbers. Full video link below. #local3168 #minimumstaffing #staffing24_7_365

One from the archives (courtesy UL FSRI) that highlights flow path dangers when operating on below grade fires with the potential for failure of a below-grade door or window. We have injured/lost several firefighters in North America with similar conditions. #flashpointequipment

A great leader who molded the fire service. Lessons from the past are important to move forward. Planning and training for events like this are a must as they will happen.
Bruno talks about rescuing Brett Tarver and how many firefighters it took to get him out and how many subsequent maydays occurred during the rescue.

It TIME. to go to a Locality based Paid EMS System. We were all volunteers at one time. Localities that embrace Fire Based EMS succeed and the Public benefits from that decision. 3 to 5 minute response times. Minimum Staffing Levels... NFPA 1710.... Time to put the Citizens FIRST
