What actions are you taking to protect yourself from occupational cancers? Let’s hear from all of you Senior officers to probationary firefighters! Ontario's Fire Fighters London Fire Department #FightFFcancer #FFCancerMonth #IAFF

There is nothing more important than vehicle safety. Take the extra minutes needed to fully clear your windows of ice and snow. Make sure you get the snow off the top of your car; otherwise, you are putting your fellow drivers in danger. #IAFFsafetytips

Ensure your vehicle is winter ready for the snowy road conditions moving in tonight. #IAFFSafetyTips #LPFFA

Tragic news from St. Louis. Our thoughts are with our brothers and sisters of St. Louis Fire Department tonight, and the family of brother FF Polson.

Fire fighters have a 9% higher chance of being diagnosed, and a 14% higher chance of dying of cancer than the general population. Lowering screening age limits and regular screening can help detect occupational cancers earlier. #FightFFcancer

While firefighting PPE and practices have come a long way, fires have also grown hotter and more toxic. As a result, we are seeing an alarming increase in fire fighter occupational related cancers. Cancer is the leading cause of fire fighter deaths. #FightFFcancer

January is Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness month. This month we bring awareness to the leading cause of fire fighter deaths. Did you know between 2015-2020, 75% of the fire fighters added to the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial died from occupational cancer? #FightFFcancer Ontario's Fire Fighters London Fire Department

From all of us at the London Professional Fire Fighters Association, have a Safe and Happy New Year!! #2022 #LdnOnt

Check your smoke alarms when you change your clocks for Daylight Saving Time. Press and hold you should hear a loud beep if it is good. IAFF Canada - AIP Ontario Government #IAFF #IAFFSafetyTips

As you’re changing the clocks, set aside some time to change out your smoke and CO alarm batteries too. And if your alarm is over 10 years old, it’s time to swi...tch it out for a new one (don’t worry, we’ve got a few options). Consult your owner's manual for specific alarm testing instructions, as such instructions may differ. https://bit.ly/3tbNgs6 Lorsque vous changez les horloges, prévoyez du temps pour remplacer les piles de vos alarmes de fumée et de CO. Et si l'alarme est de plus de 10 ans, il est temps pour une nouvelle (ne vous inquiétez pas, nous avons quelques options). Consultez votre Guide de l’utilisateur pour obtenir des instructions de test d'alarme spécifiques, car ces instructions peuvent différer. http://bit.ly/3rRdfos

As we close out 2020, we want to thank our fire fighters and paramedics for being on the frontlines helping to fight the greatest public health challenge of our lifetime. Here’s looking forward to brighter days in 2021! Be safe and stay healthy.

Have a Happy New Year Eve everyone, and have a safe and wonderful start to 2021.

From all of us at the London Professional Fire Fighters Association, we would like to wish you and your families a safe and Happy Holiday! #happyholidays #merrychristmas

Every year, candles cause more than 10,000 home fires. We recommend switching to LED candles to be safe. #IAFFSafetyTips #LPFFA #OPFFA

We honour our fallen fire fighters whose names would be forever etched on the Ontario Fire Fighter Memorial. Sadly this year, we would have added many new names to our memorial walls that have paid the ultimate sacrifice serving our communities. We encourage everyone to please pause for a moment of silence at 1 PM to reflect on all those that we have lost in the line of duty. Please share tributes on social media using the hashtag #opffa2020fallen. We hope to properly honour all the fallen at next year’s ceremony in 2021 when our world and our community emerges from the darkness of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today would have been the Ontario Fire Fighter Memorial at Queens Park. Please join us as we honour our fallen members with a moment of silence at 1:00pm. #opffa2020fallen Ontario Government IAFF Canada - AIP
