Attention all firefighters, don't miss out on the Lambton County Fire Trade Show! Sign up for some very informative training on Friday January 24th See all the details below! Look forward to seeing you all there !

Happy #FireSafetyWeek. Ricky Bobby is the best race car driver out there. You know what he’s not the best at, fire safety. Let’s stay safe by testing smoke alarms, creating escape plans, and learning how to prevent fires at home and work. Safety starts with awareness! #FirePrevention #StaySafe @NASCAR #RickyBobby

Thanks to Lt Eliot for training Stn 1 on the use of their new Hurst edraulics tonight. Once again, phenomenal service from the real @JDefosse who was able to quickly get us our replacement tools, despite being on another continent. Always great service

Did you know Electric Vehicles exposed to high volumes of water are at great risk of short circuiting and progressing into thermal runaway? Be prepared to respond in emergency situations like EV submersion. Utilize ESA as a resource! For real-time guidance call our toll-free number that is available 24/7 to help guide first responders through incidents involving electric vehicles, including when they are submerged in water. That number is 1-855-ESA-SAFE. #FloodSafety #FirstResponders #Towing #Submersion

Very cool to have Ron Fellows drop in on the symposium today. Ron is one of North America’s most successful road racing drivers; winning in series from NASCAR to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He’s also an inductee of the Corvette Hall of Fame & Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame.

Thank you CFB Trenton for hosting @GFLenv and the Energy Security Agency. Many emergency services may not be fully aware of the resources available to them, or how to utilize them. GFL Environmental's Emergency Response services encompass a wide range of solutions, including Vacuum Truck services, waste chemical, soil, and water management, catering to the diverse needs of their clients. The Energy Security Agency offers an array of services, such as destructive testing at our state-of-the-art research facility, for both private and public organizations. We have earned the trust of the @NFPA as a reliable source of data, and we are the go-to company for managing lithium-ion events across Canada and the United States. #LithiumIonSafety
