Hey #WatReg students! Back to school means staying safe around roads:
✅ Cross at crosswalks/intersections
✅ Watch for cars, bikes & scooters
✅ Eyes up, phones down
✅ Use sidewalks
✅ No playing, pushing or shoving near traffic
Be street smart: SafeRoadsWR.com

Not every hero holds a hose.
Some teach. Some plan. Some lead from behind the scenes.
But all of them serve with one goal: protecting people.
Today, we honour every role in the fire service—and every person behind it.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Firefighter Brayden McCleary. Brayden was a dedicated member of the Cambridge Fire Department, known for his unwavering kindness, generous spirit, and a sense of humour that could light up any room. Rest easy Brayden.

A fire doesn’t wait. It doesn’t warn. It takes.
Know without doubt your home has a working smoke alarm.
Know for certain your family knows what to do when it beeps.
A life lost. A family forever changed. Seconds decide everything.
Test. Practice. Survive. #SavedByTheBeep

Firefighters don’t just put out flames—they ignite hearts with their dedication! ❤️🚒

In an emergency, every second counts. Fire hydrants that are blocked, or difficult to access due to snow or ice, impede emergency response.
Be a fire hydrant hero, adopt a fire hydrant and tag us.

This is extremely important. Please don’t go another minute without knowing you have working smoke alarms and everyone in your home knows and practices your home escape plan. Fire can happen to any of us - please be prepared!

6 weeks into 2025 and we’ve seen 12 fatal fires. Fire doesn’t stop, particularly in the winter months. Our thoughts are with the families, communities, investigators and first responders affected by these tragic events. @ONFireMarshal urges everyone to have a working smoke alarm.

Medical oxygen can cause materials to ignite more easily and burn at a faster rate.
See below as firefighter Dana shares a safety tip on using medical oxygen.

The promotion process to Acting Platoon Chief is rigorous, requiring years of experience, leadership skills, and a deep understanding of emergency operations.
Captain Mayne extends his gratitude to everyone who was part of this process and supported him along the way to his promotion.
From all of us at CFD, congratulations Captain Mayne on your promotion to APC! Your dedication will make a difference every shift.

Cold water can be deadly in minutes! Our firefighters train for ice water rescues, but prevention is key:
⚠️ Stay off thin or unknown ice
⚠️ Keep children and pets away from waterways
⚠️ If you fall in—stay calm, keep your head above water, and call for help

If someone you know is going through hard times, be supportive and most of all, listen.
When it comes to mental health every action counts. #BellLetsTalk #BeSupportive #Listen
