Staffing Matters!

Getting the proper amount of fire fighters on scene in a timely fashion can make the difference!

That is why Oshawa Fire Fighters believe in NFPA 1710 and are working to have the fire truck and its crew put back at station one that were cut by the Fire Chief.

The safety of our community matters.

As we come to the end of Carbon Monoxide Awareness week we have a few more tips:

-You have a responsibility to know about the dangers of carbon monoxide. Your knowledge and actions may save lives.
-CO alarms are a good second line of defence, but do not eliminate the need for regular inspection, maintenance and safe use of fuel-burning equipment.
-Take the time to learn about the use of CO alarms in your home to ensure you are using this equipment properly and effectively.

Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week Tips.

Where does Carbon Monoxide Come From?

It is produced when carbon-based fuels are incompletely burned such as:
Wood
Propane
Natural Gas
Heating Oil
Coal
Kerosene

Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week Tips.

Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea and dizziness, as well as confusion, drowsiness, loss of consciousness and death.

Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week Tips.

If your CO alarm sounds, and you or other occupants suffer from symptoms of CO poisoning, get everyone out of the home immediately and call 9-1-1 from outside the building.

Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week Tips.

Your CO alarm sounds different than your smoke alarm. Test both alarms monthly and make sure everyone in your home knows the difference between the two alarm sounds.

City of Oshawa - Municipal Government
Ontario's Fire Fighters
IAFF Canada - AIP

When you install smoke alarms, install carbon monoxide detectors. Install carbon monoxide detectors where you install smoke alarms. If the audible trouble signal sounds, first check for low batteries. If the battery is low, replace it. If it still sounds, call the fire department.

Smoke alarms with non-replaceable 10-year batteries are designed to remain effective to up to 10 years. If the alarm beeps, warning that the battery is low, replace the smoke alarm right away.

Please consider avoiding these higher risk activities to help prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19:

-Participating in traditional trick-or-treating where treats are handed to children who go door to door
-Having trunk-or-treat where treats are handed out from trunks of cars lined up in large parking lots
-Attending crowded costume parties held indoors
-Going to an indoor haunted house where people may be crowded together and screaming
-Going on hayrides or tractor rides with people who are not in your household
-Using alcohol or drugs, which can cloud judgement and increase risky behaviors

This halloween may be a little different as we continue to fight COVID19, but if you are going to go out please use the sidewalks.

Participating in one-way trick-or-treating where individually wrapped goodie bags are lined up for families to grab and go while continuing to social distance (such as at the end of a driveway or at the edge of a yard).

Many traditional Halloween activities can be high-risk for spreading viruses. There are several safer, alternative ways to participate in Halloween. If you may have COVID-19 or you may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you should not participate in in-person Halloween festivities or give out candy to trick-or-treaters.

Consider carving or decorating pumpkins with members of your household and displaying them and carve/decorate pumpkins outside, at a safe distance, with neighbors or friends.

Two years ago we first posted this picture outlining how calls for service from our community are increasing. Over the three years we studied we saw an 18% increase, but no corresponding increase of fire department resources for your community.

That isn’t right. We won’t stop advocating for the City of Oshawa to make investments in Public Safety.

City of Oshawa - Municipal Government

Two years ago we released a report that highlighted deficiencies in how Oshawa Fire Service operates that puts public safety at risk. The risk still remains today as Oshawa City Council and the Oshawa Fire Chief have not reversed their irresponsible decision to cut staffing and front line fire trucks in the downtown core at station one. Station one is the busiest in our city and services an area with a very high fire risk, yet it has half of the frontline firefighters and firetrucks today then it use to have.

We are committed to the safety of our community and we continue to advocate today for the reversal of this decision. Put public safety first. Put the fire truck back.

Today we pause, reflect and honour our fallen. On Firefighters’ National Memorial Day.

They shall not be forgotten.

This is just as relevant today as it was in November of 2018 when we first shared it, as the busiest station in the City, Fire Hall one, still remains short one firetruck and the firefighters that use to staff it until they were cut.

For over two years Oshawa Firefighters have advocating that the City of Oshawa reverse the decision to cut the fire truck and firefighters from Station One in the downtown core.

We remain committed to ensuring our community has the highest level fo fire safety possible.
