Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads. Today we especially recognize our firefighters, who often miss moments with their own families so they can protect the families in our community. Your dedication means more than you know.

Fire doesn’t care about excuses.

➡️ Living in a rental? Test your alarms monthly and notify your landlord if they aren’t working.
➡️ Burnt dinner a few months ago and heard the alarm sound? That’s not enough. Press the ‘test’ button every month to make sure they’re working.
➡️ Already have an alarm on the main floor of your home? You need a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas.

No excuses, because only working smoke alarms can save lives.

Having working smoke alarms where required isn’t just smart - it’s the law.

We join the policing community in mourning the loss of Constable Bali. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fellow officers as they face this tragic and difficult time.

It is with deep sorrow that I confirm that OPP Provincial Constable Tarun Bali was killed in the line of duty this afternoon in Hearst. His courage and commitment to serving others will never be forgotten. As we grieve this immeasurable loss, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his loved ones, colleagues and the policing community.
