The seasons change and so do the risks we encounter - today C shift was at the dam to practice their swift water training skills! Let’s not make them use it!

Take some time today to check your outside vents are clear of snow and ice so that Carbon Monoxide can exit your home! #COsafety

Today Lieutenant Mike Murphy received his 30 year Canadian Fire Service Exemplary Service Bar and 30 year City of Woodstock Service Award and Lieutenant Rob Jeanson received his 25 year City of Woodstock Service Award. Congratulations to both and thank you for your service.!

WFD firefighters carried out a Technical Rescue on Burgess Trail this morning. WFD Support Gator Vehicle was used to retrieve patient who had fallen. Patient was then put in care of Oxford County Paramedics. Motorists, pedestrians, everyone! Take it easy today due to snow & slippery road conditions! If you need to, absolutely need to drive or walk anywhere, be prepared for winter weather conditions! Be careful and stay safe!

A shift getting a chance to work with Innerkip Fire Station , EZ Fire Department for Tanker Ops today! Thank you again for working with our Department.

From the old Perry Street Fire Hall to the Parkinson Road Fire Hall Headquarters (with many stops in between) our old bell is back with us! Recently installed in a prominent location at our headquarters and we are glad to see it home. Look for more on the story of our bell's travels from the old hall to the new(ly expanded) one in the January/February issue of What's on Woodstock.

These Smoke Alarms have something in common? They are all expired! All smoke alarms, including hard-wired alarms, have an expiration date. Expired alarms will stop working leaving you unprotected from smoke/fire & unable to evacuate your home. Check the date on your alarms!

Let’s be safe, avoid unnecessary social gatherings and loosen the strain on our healthcare system. Follow Public Health and Woodstock Hospital’s advice and precautions concerning #Covid19 we are all in this together!
