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. #InternationalFirefightersDay #ThankYouFirefighters

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

Going out to enjoy the sun? Make sure to be cautious if you are going near water. With the recent warm weather, rivers and other bodies of water are beginning to thaw. This creates thin ice edges and an increase in water current.

Good morning Waterloo Region. Try to give yourself some extra time for your travels this morning. With the snow coming down, expect some delays on the road. Give yourself plenty of travel time, space between cars, and please clear off your windshields before driving. Have a great day everyone!

Celebrate with us today by offering kindness to everyone you meet today.  @CPFFLocal499 @Chief_RMartin @cityofcambridge

You only have 60 seconds to escape a home fire so let’s plan and practice your family escape plan today.  #ProtectYourFamily  #HomeEscapePlanning

Firefighters don’t just put out flames—they ignite hearts with their dedication! ❤️🚒 This Valentine’s Day, show some love to those who keep us safe 24/7. And remember, the best gift you can give your loved ones is a working smoke alarm! 🔥💖 #ValentinesDa #Firefighters #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives

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. #everysecondcounts

Welcome to the team, Mackenzie! From all of us at CFD, we're excited to have you on board as part of our administration team. Looking forward to all the great things ahead! #Welcome #Teamwork #cbridge

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!

Starting today until the 28th, Cambridge Fire Leadership Team and the Cambridge Professional Firefighters Association Executive Team have joined forces to take on the Push Up Challenge. 2000 pushups each in 18 days. This figure represents the 2000 lives lost daily to suicide worldwide. We're pushing for better mental health in our community.

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. @OAFEOntario @omfpoa @ONFireChiefs @ONFireMarshal @Chief_RMartin @cityofcambridge

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.

Help us help you! 🚒🚑🚓 When you see emergency vehicles with lights and sirens, slow down, pull over to the right, and stop. Every second counts in an emergency. Stay alert and let us pass safely. #MoveOver #SlowDown #FireSafety

It’s February 1st, a good time to review and practice your home fire escape plan. #workingsmokealarmssavelives #practiceyourescape

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 #IceSafety #ColdWaterRescue

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 @CPFFLocal499 @cityofcambridge @OAFEOntario @OMFPOA @ONFireChiefs @ONFireMarshal @Chief_RMartin
