🚨 6 FIRE TRUCKS OUT OF SERVICE TODAY DUE TO STAFFING SHORTAGES🚨
Every truck taken out of service means fewer resources available when emergencies happen. Residents deserve to know when frontline emergency response capacity is reduced.
This is about your safety.

Stronger Criminal Code protections for FFs and paramedics are now law in Canada.
This is a great example of why political action matters. Real change happens when FFs engage with elected officials, advocate for our members & help shape public policy.
