Firefighters helped a resident who was injured while walking on a trail in the 4400 block of West Hunt Club Rd this afternoon. At approx. 15:09, Firefighters made their way 500m into the forest on a walking trail and located the resident who had a fall and was unable to exit on their own. Firefighters used a stokes basket with a wheel on the bottom that is carried on board our Heavy Rescue trucks to safely bring the resident out of the forest at 15:36.   @ottawacity residents need to exercise caution right now on walking trails. The changing weather has caused a lot of black ice causing dangerous conditions.   #OttNews

I am training for the annual Memorial Ride to Ottawa this September to support the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation. canadahelps.org/en/charities/c…

Today we participated in a mock collision with @OttFire and @OttawaPolice to educate young adults to the impacts of #ImpairedDriving and the other #Fatal4: speed, lack of seatbelts and distracted driving. #ParamedicServicesWeek.

Happy Father's Day from all of us @OttFire. Why is being a Firefighter so great? Because you are always greeted with Warmth🤣. #DadJokes

🧊STAY OFF the ice! Restez À L’ÉCART de la glace! ⛔️ ☀️Warm weather leads to melting ice, moving water & unstable conditions. #WithinArmsReach 🚸🐶🐕✋🏽 ⛱Le temps chaud entraîne la fonte de la glace, le mouvement de l'eau et des conditions instables. #APorteeDeMain

Last summer we unveiled our new Pride logo alongside Mayor @JimWatsonOttawa. Appalled to see him targeted by homophobic graffiti. @OPFFALocal_162 stands shoulder to shoulder with our mayor & the 2SLGBTQ+ community against hate. @FierteCapPride @IAFFCanada @opffa @OttFire

@Alison_Sandor @OttawaHospital @hopitalmontfort @OttawaParamedic Congratulations Alison!

HUGE thank you to the staff @OttawaHospital Civic Campus for helping safely deliver our little man into the world early. Words cannot express how much your kindness and world class care will forever be appreciated. TY as well to @hopitalmontfort and @OttawaParamedic! ❤️

Working from home can make it hard to keep track of the days. Today is February 1st, that means it is time to test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms🚨. Set a reminder in your calendar🗓️ or phone📲 for the 1st of every month to remind you to #TestYourAlarms once a month.

Be sure to check the furnace vents around your home to ensure they are clear of snow and ice. Blocked furnace vents can lead to a dangerous buildup of Carbon Monoxide gas in your home. When you go back inside to warm up, be sure to test your CO alarms. #SnowDay #CarbonMonoxide

@manchesterfire Our family practices our Home Fire Escape Plan when we test our alarms so the kids know when the alarm sounds to get out and stay out. #HowDoYouTestYours #Canada #FireSafetyHasNoBorders Photo of us testing our alarms during the @OttFirePrevent #WakeUpOttawa challenge:

Looking for something educational and fun to do with the children today? We’ve got just the thing... Take a video testing your smoke alarm in a creative (and safe!) way and share it with us using the hashtag #HowDoYouTestYours Then wait to see if you appear on our feed!

@MedicMatt17512 @markhildo But that’s my purely unscientific theoretical question about what is a very real practical problem. Realizing now that is not terribly helpful.

@MedicMatt17512 @markhildo Obviously totally different situation, but fans make me nervous. Depending on how much air the fan is moving, If you are increasing the amount of air being pulled into your goggles does that affect your possible exposure? #Echobox=1609843497" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ottawasun.com/news/world/hig…

#Paramedic peeps, has anyone found any really good goggles that hold up to the temp changes we work in without fogging? Wondering about thermal lenses like I had for paintball back in the day. Finding that not even frog spit holds up going from truck to house and back.
