🚸 Welcome Back, Students! 📚

The first day of school is here, and our crossing guards are out bright and early helping make sure everyone gets to school safely.

A huge thank you to these dedicated community members who spend their mornings keeping our kids safe, rain or shine. Your commitment makes a real difference!

To everyone driving through school zones: slow down, stay alert, and watch for children and crossing guards. Let’s all do our part to make getting to and from school a safe one.

Welcome back, kids; have a great first day!

Tomorrow is the first day of school, which means the roads, sidewalks and school zones will be a little busier.

Please slow down and stay alert for students walking or biking to school, crossing streets, and getting on and off buses. Give yourself a few extra minutes, be patient, and keep your eyes up—especially around school zones and crosswalks.

Let’s all do our part to make sure everyone gets to school safely. Have a great first day, everyone!

đźš’ Training Night

Tonight, our firefighters took part in a realistic residential fire simulation focused on civilian search and rescue, firefighter Mayday procedures, RIT operations, accountability, and communication.

These complex scenarios help our crews build the skills and teamwork needed when it matters most.

We would also like to thank Leeds 1000 Islands Fire Services for allowing us to use their training prop tonight!

Great work by everyone involved. 👏🔥

Turning an alarm call into a good experience! đźš’

Today our crew responded to an alarm at a local daycare. What could have been a scary situation for the little ones turned into an opportunity to meet the firefighters, explore the truck, and learn a little about fire safety.

We’re always happy to make these experiences a positive one!

Last evening, we had the opportunity to spend some time at the Gananoque Canoe Club and hit the water with some of their young athletes!

It was a great evening of paddling, learning, and plenty of laughs. We’re always happy to get out into the community, connect with local youth, and support the great programs happening right here in Gananoque.

A big thank you to the Gananoque Canoe Club for having us out!

Something interesting - From Firefighting history 🧯

The first fire extinguishers were nothing like today’s. Early chemical extinguishers could be large, pressurized devices containing mixtures such as sodium bicarbonate and acid. When activated, the chemicals reacted to produce carbon dioxide, creating pressure that forced the extinguishing agent out through a hose or nozzle.

Some early models were made of copper or brass and were surprisingly sophisticated for their time. They were an important step toward the portable fire extinguishers we still rely on today.

A little firefighting history reminds us just how far the fire service has come.

Last evening, Gananoque Fire crews completed training in water rescue.

Our firefighters regularly train for the challenges they may face on the water, including rescue techniques, equipment, and working safely as a team in difficult conditions.

With summer in full swing and so many people enjoying our local waterways, we encourage everyone to stay safe, wear a properly fitted life jacket, and know your limits.

Training like this helps ensure our crews are ready when our community needs us.

This evening, Gananoque Fire Service responded to an activated carbon monoxide (CO) alarm. Upon arrival, crews detected carbon monoxide inside the home.

This is an important reminder that CO is colourless, odourless and potentially deadly. A working CO alarm can provide the warning you need to get out safely.

In Ontario, homes with a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace or attached garage are required to have CO alarms adjacent to sleeping areas and on every storey without a sleeping area.

Test your CO alarms regularly and never ignore an alarm. If it sounds, get outside to fresh air and call 911.

A working CO alarm can save a life.
