Great conversation with #Nanaimo @IAFF905 International Association of Fire Fighters about the challenges they face and the support they need to keep our communities safe. Grateful for their dedication and service.

Thanks to @NanaimoChamber’s Community Impact Committee and Canadian Builders Association of Vancouver Island for hosting an all-candidates forum for #Nanaimo #Lantzville & #Nanaimo #GabriolaIsland. It was also wonderful to run into Chad Porter, President of @IAFF905 at the event

📢 BC NDP Expands WCB Coverage for Fire Fighters! A big thank you to @BCNDP for committing to expand presumptive WCB coverage for fire fighters facing higher cancer risks due to hazardous exposures on the job. 🎗️🚒 1/2

Fire Prevention Week - Oct 6th to the 12th. Have a look at our “behind the scenes” support from local media. This year’s theme is “make smoke alarms work for you”. Put one on each floor, test them monthly and replace them every 10 years or as recommended @cityofnanaimo @IAFF905

PSA: This is not acceptable or amusing to us or our members. You are putting yourself and others at risk by driving over fire hoses, sadly this happens VERY frequently. @vanfirerescue @bcpffa #DONOTDRIVEOVERFIREHOSES

It’s ok to ask for help. (Please share this with your audience too):

Government of Canada Announces More Funding to Build Wildfire Fighting Capacity and Enhance Training Best Practices. @IAFFofficial @IAFFCanada canada.ca/en/natural-res…

The Govt. of Canada will commit $800K to fund our RTI program in the coming year. This support is critical to training structural fire fighters to respond safely to the growing threat of wildfires – and when fire fighters are safe, those we took an oath to protect are safe.

Today I met with the @IAFFofficial to announce $800k to support them as they fight more severe and frequent wildfires. We will continue to invest in the safety and success of Canada’s world-class firefighters, on the front lines of the climate crisis.

The BCPFFA appreciates that the PFAS issue of fire fighter safety is being raised through this private members bill. We will continue to advocate and work with the Province to safeguard our fire fighters from dangerous forever chemicals. @IAFFCanada bcpffa.net/news/2024/3/14…
