The @TPFFA extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and the entire membership of @Local416 following the tragic loss of one of your own. ​This is a profound loss for the entire labour community and the City.

@Local416 members work tirelessly and often without the recognition they deserve to keep our city running and safe. ​We mourn with you and honour the service of your fallen member. May their commitment to public service never be forgotten.

Two of our firefighters were injured today while battling the residential fire on Yardley Avenue. We wish them a full and speedy recovery. A reminder of the dangers our crews face daily. Thank you to all @Toronto_Fire firefighters for your courage and service. @TPFFA

Thanks to the heroic crew from @Toronto_Fire @TPFFA for getting this serious fire under control. I’ve been in touch with Chief Jessop to offer my thanks and support. Thinking of the two firefighters in hospital and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Come by and say "Hi"!! @Toronto_Fire | @ChiefJessopTFS | @TPFFAPres

For the members of the Toronto Professional Firefighters Association, it means greater access to the tools, training, and equipment that help us prevent cancer, manage new and emerging risks like lithium-ion battery fires, and come home safely to our families after every shift."

This funding is important to municipal fire services across Ontario, but it’s more than money — it’s a commitment to our safety, our health, and the communities we serve.

In addition to working behind the scenes to keep everybody safe, @TPFFA members along with their friends and family had a great time celebrating at the #TorontoCarnival2025 parade!! @ChiefJessopTFS @Toronto_Fire

Today the @TPFFA joined @JoshMatlow at City Hall to announce a campaign to create Ontario’s first Burn Survivor Family Support Centre & museum in the old Station 135 on Eglinton Ave.

It will be a place for parents, families and burn survivors to have a home away from home while they are receiving treatment at Sunnybrook or Sick Kids.

The centre will feature individual units for survivors and their families from across the province so that they can stay together with the comforts of home and easy access to the hospital. We are extremely excited to see this project continue to progress!

Members of the executive board are in Windsor this week at the @opffa Convention, putting in the work to continue making improvements for all firefighters across the province.

Today, Toronto Fire Chief @ChiefJessopTFS, alongside @TPFFAPres James Reed, presented the crew of Station 412 with a rescue merit recognition for their exemplary service at an incident. Their actions truly exemplified the principles of courage, compassion, and service. #Toronto

Ontario’s firefighters thank Premier @fordnation for his steadfast support of the @runnymedehc's First Responders Post Traumatic Stress Injury Rehabilitation Centre. Firefighters experience mental health challenges more frequently than the general public due to their frequent exposure to traumatic events in the course of their duties serving the public. This generous investment means construction can begin on this one-of-a-kind center, which will provide essential support to firefighters in need. buff.ly/4hw0jho
