We are thankful that our province is filled with people who care about their neighbours. Our elderly can be hit especially hard during this cold weather. Today would be a great day to check on your elderly neighbour, or those in need of a little extra help. Checking to see that they're warm, running a few errands for them, dropping off a warm meal, or putting sand on their icy driveway are all great ways to make a difference in their day. Thank you for caring!

Nous sommes reconnaissants que notre province soit remplie de gens qui se soucient de leurs voisins. Nos personnes âgées peuvent être particulièrement touchées par ce temps froid. Aujourd'hui serait une excellente journée pour vérifier l'état de votre voisin âgé ou de ceux qui ont besoin d'un peu d'aide supplémentaire. Vérifier qu'ils sont au chaud, faire quelques courses pour eux, déposer un repas chaud ou mettre du sable sur leur allée glacée sont tous d'excellents moyens de faire une différence dans leur journée. Nous vous remercie pour le soin.

The North York Fire Department has opened up their training for Monday night:

We are opening up tomorrow night's Zoom-based training session to our colleagues! If your training has been cancelled this week, or even if you're just curious, join us for tomorrow night's session focused on Pre-Incident Planning.

Pre-Incident Planning is a key component in our preparedness.

Having key decisions and plans pre-arranged allows us to focus on the variables that pop up during difficult responses. This session will focus on what aspects we should consider, the basics of how to arrange a plan, and ideas for how to manage the plans once they're made.

Every day, and night, New Brunswick Volunteer Firefighters respond to calls for service. They leave their jobs, their families, their meals, and even their beds. The New Brunswick Volunteer Fire Service is the largest group of emergency first responders in the Province, and they do it for free.

Chaque jour et chaque nuit, les pompiers volontaires du Nouveau-Brunswick répondent aux appels de service. Ils quittent leur travail, leur famille, leurs repas et même leur lit. Le Service d'incendie volontaire du Nouveau-Brunswick est le plus grand groupe de premiers intervenants d'urgence dans la province, et ils le font gratuitement.

While our community members are sleeping, our Firefighters attend emergency calls when the need arises. That was the case last night at appx 3:15 am our crew was called to the TCH and remained on scene until 7:30 am. Some showered and headed straight to work after clearing scene this morning. We are here for our community and it's residents. You may not always see us but we are here. Note due to privacy we will not post other pictures of this scene.

October 3-9, is Fire Prevention Week-Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety”. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms save lives!

When a smoke alarm or carbon monoxide (CO) alarm sounds, respond immediately by exiting the home as quickly as possible-Test your smoke and CO alarms monthly.

If your alarm is chirping, your batteries may need to be replaced!

A working, properly installed alarm remains the best way to protect yourselves from fire and carbon monoxide.

Volunteer firefighters training their peers is a longstanding practice in the New Brunswick fire service. To do this properly and safely, volunteer firefighters need to enroll in additional training to obtain the proper certifications. This is yet another way that volunteer firefighters go the extra mile for their communities, and to save the Province money.

If you're a volunteer firefighter and would like to submit photos to be used on this page, please send them to [email protected] . All photos will be screened by our team to respect considerations for privacy and safety.

Les pompiers volontaires qui forment leurs pairs sont une pratique de longue date au sein des services d'incendie du Nouveau-Brunswick. Pour le faire correctement et en toute sécurité, les pompiers volontaires doivent s'inscrire à une formation supplémentaire pour obtenir les certifications appropriées. C'est encore une autre façon pour les pompiers volontaires de faire un effort supplémentaire pour leurs collectivités et d'économiser de l'argent à la province.

With the change to the green phase of our Covid recovery plan, some fire departments may no longer be using masks unless they feel they're necessary. However, if you are receiving care from a firefighter, and you'd feel more safe if they used a mask, please feel free to speak up. We will work together to ensure you're as safe and comfortable as possible.

Avec le passage à la phase verte de notre plan de Covid, certains services d'incendie pourraient ne plus utiliser de masques à moins qu'ils ne le jugent nécessaire. Cependant, si vous recevez des soins d'un pompier et que vous vous sentiriez plus en sécurité s'il utilisait un masque, n'hésitez pas à en parler. Nous travaillerons ensemble pour que vous soyez aussi sûr et confortable que possible.

Curious about that hazy air in New Brunswick today? Well that's smoke from wildfires in Central Canada. We'd like to give a shoutout to DNRED Wildland Firefighters from NB who are currently deployed to help with fires outside of our province. And to their families who are anxiously waiting for their return, thank you for supporting them!

Curieuse sur cet air brumeux au Nouveau-Brunswick aujourd'hui? Eh bien, c'est la fumée des feux de forêt dans le centre du Canada.
