“ERTSAR is known for it’s specialist capacity to respond to “All Hazard” emergency incidents locally, nationally and internationally. From "Fires to Floods" we train year around in our foundation staples, but for the 2024 Season we are literally focusing on the "3 Fs" = Fires, Floods and (Medical pre-hospital) First Response. We are still able to respond to our other disciplines including Fires, USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) and Storms etc., but the 3 Fs are this year’s focus.” #Safety #Security #Search #Rescue #Medical #Logistics #Management #Leadership #Fires #Community #TechRescue #Marine #Water #EmergencyResponse #CapacityBuilding #SAR #ThatOthersMayLive

How amazing! Love this! Thank you so much, Sharmeen!

Last year in 2022 the province of Ontario had 133 fatalities the most they have had in the province in the last two decades • Have you checked your smoke alarms yet? • Today is Ontario's first "test your smoke alarm" day! Here our member, firefighter paramedic Ally, explains more about how to check your smoke alarms. • This OFM (Ontario Fire Marshal) "saved by the beep" campaign kicks across Ontario as the first ever annual test of smoke alarms! We believe in the S.A.F.E.R. principle of Smoke Alarms For Every Residence! • It just takes a couple of minutes to check them . ... And if you don't have the required / needed smoke alarms then now would be a good time to install them and ensure that you have! • Please SHARE & RESHARE! • #SAFER #SmokeAlarmsForEveryResidence #ofm #smokealarm #fireprevention #firesafety #communitysafety #ontariofiremarshal #savedbythebeep #savedbythebell • @ally_hendriks @ERTSAR | Emergency Response Team SAR @ONFireMarshal | Le Bureau du commissaire des incendies @jonpeggOFM @JohnMcBeth @SijoGaryFoo @MPPKerzner

Very proud of the incredible hard work of our firefighters. With the hot weather and the many wild fires rampant, and the smell of smoke in the air, our tireless crews have been out working hard on wildland and structural fire response.
