🎆 Fireworks are fun, but safety comes first! 🎆

As we head into the long weekend, Peterborough Fire Services is reminding everyone to celebrate responsibly.

We recommend attending a professional fireworks display, but if you choose to use fireworks please watch this quick video!

Before lighting the fuse:
✅ Read and follow all manufacturer instructions
✅ Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby
✅ Only use fireworks outdoors in a clear, open area
✅ Keep spectators at a safe distance
✅ Never allow children to handle or light fireworks
✅ Never relight a “dud” firework

Let’s keep the celebrations safe for everyone this weekend.

Today, we recognize and celebrate all the incredible mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother figures in our community and within our fire service family. ❤️

From the moms who answer emergency calls and serve our community, to the mothers who have supported and inspired firefighters throughout their lives, your strength, care, sacrifice, and love never go unnoticed.

This Mother’s Day, we are especially proud to celebrate the special bond between family and service. Thank you for everything you do both at home and in our community.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Peterborough Fire Services. 🌷🚒

We had a great time visiting Riverview Park & Zoo to work with their summer students on fire safety and hands-on fire extinguisher training! 🔥🧯

From understanding how fires start to learning the PASS method, these students are now better prepared to respond quickly and safely in an emergency. Their enthusiasm and willingness to learn made for an engaging and interactive session!

Thank you to the team at Riverview Park and Zoo for your commitment to safety, we’re proud to support you in keeping both staff and visitors safe this summer.

🚫🔥 Reminder for Residents 🔥🚫

Open air burning is not permitted within the City of Peterborough.

As many people tackle spring cleanup, it’s important to remember that burning yard waste, leaves, or debris is prohibited. These fires can quickly get out of control and pose a serious risk to people, property, and the environment.
