I spent some of #InternationalFirefightersDay with Captain George McCauley of TFD. Our families are connected through service. Born in 1929, he’s an accomplished rower who competed at the ‘52 Helsinki Olympics. Thank you for representing #Toronto and #Canada, Captain McCauley!

As a leader in the Fire Service, and especially during #MentalHealthWeek, it is necessary to lead with empathy, ensure staff feel supported, and help end the stigma around mental health. #UnmaskingMentalHealth

Over the past 48 hours Toronto Fire Services 🇨🇦 teams have responded to multiple challenging incidents. I want to thank our staff for their courage and resilience. The risks of this job are real, as the past two days have reminded us, and yet they show up without hesitation. Toronto Firefighters #Toronto

May 21st will always hold meaning for me. It marks the day I graduated from the Toronto Fire Academy. Beside me, Platoon Chief Sinclair, now gone but never forgotten. The years have brought change, but the mission remains: serve and protect the great city of #Toronto.

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere. When overcharged, misused, damaged, or improperly disposed of, they can pose serious fire risks. Know what to do - fire safety starts with awareness. bit.ly/43ovq8Y #Toronto #FireSafety
