Public Advisory from the Town of Marystown:

Water Shut-off, Creston Boulevard, September 2/26

Residents of Creston Boulevard are advised there will be a water shut-off from the intersection of Markland Road to Hollett's Road tomorrow, September 2nd, starting at 8:00 a.m. All side streets, including Markland Road and Hollett's Road, will be affected.

This water shut-off is for an indefinite period of time to facilitate the installation of a new fire hydrant.

Protecting the Protectors - Every day, our community relies on our Firefighters to answer the call and put their lives on the line. In return, it is our Fire Department’s fundamental responsibility to ensure they have the safest, most advanced protection possible. That is why our Department has maintained an unwavering, proactive focus on the long-term health and wellness of our personnel.

Today, we are proud to be approaching 90% completion in our transition away from traditional bunker gear made with PFAS materials – a process which began in 2020. Thank you to our Town Council and the provincial government for their continued support as we continue these efforts.

The Threat of "Forever Chemicals"
For decades, standard Firefighting turnout gear relied on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—often called "forever chemicals"—to provide oil and water resistance. However, modern occupational health research has heavily linked long-term PFAS exposure to heightened cancer risks and other serious health complications for Firefighters. In addition to bunker gear, we have also transitioned from traditional Firefighting foams as required relating to PFAS for Firefighter and public safety.

We remain committed to being proactive for Firefighter Health and Safety as they serve you!

: Do you drive a 2021-2026 Ford Bronco?
The engine wiring harness may not have enough protection and could become damaged. If not fixed, the wiring harness could short circuit, creating a risk of a fire.

A beautiful morning on the Training Grounds to continue Firefighter I skills during the Day Drill. At this time, nearly all of our Firefighters are trained to at least Firefighter I as the last 2 members are approaching completion of their skills. Thank you to all of our Firefighters for their commitment to training for protection of our community & the surrounding area!
