Check your owners manual to make sure your tires are inflated to the manufacturers specifications. Properly inflated tires increase your vehicles fuel efficiency by up to 3%!

A quick look at the law: If you hear approaching sirens or see flashing lights of a fire truck, section 159 of the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) says youre suppose...d to come safely to a stop "as near as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway." Thunder Bay Fire Rescue is careful to avoid vehicle collisions by driving slowly when traveling against traffic or coming to a complete stop at intersections. The cooperation of ALL vehicles on the roadway is still an essential part of emergency response.
