Our thoughts and prayers are with our fellow brothers
Wishing them all a speedy and healthy recovery
Tonight, Uxbridge came far too close to a tragedy.
While responding to a collision at Wagg Road near Highway 47, three of our firefighters were struck by an SUV. They are awake and alert, but their injuries are serious, and all three have been rushed to a Toronto trauma centre. A driver from the original collision has also been transported to hospital in stable condition.
I am so extremely grateful that we are not adding any new names to our firefighter memorial tonight.
Thank you to the DRPS, our Uxbridge Fire team, Ornge, Durham EMS, and every responder working in these extremely hazardous conditions.
Regional and Uxbridge snow removal crews are out on the roads and are doing their best to have our roads ready for the morning commute. The weather is expected to get worse before it gets better, and road conditions remain extremely dangerous.
Please avoid travel unless absolutely necessary. Stay safe, Uxbridge.
