Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
And a special thank you to the first responder moms on duty today, including our own members at Ottawa Fire Services, who are away from their families & keeping our community safe!
We are saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Derek Sharman from the Calgary Firefighters Local 255.
On behalf of the Ottawa Professional Firefighters, we express our condolences to the family of Calgary Firefighter Derek Sharman and to our Brothers and Sisters of Local 255 .
Thank you councillor, our members are proud to serve the people of this great city and to be recognized on International Firefighters Day! Also cause for celebration is that, at long last, budget 2021 includes $7.5M to build a new Fire Station 45. Once open, it will be properly staffed with 4 career firefighters (up from 2 currently) which will increase safety for Kanata North and our members.
On International Firefighters Day (May 4), we celebrate the selfless nature of firefighters' work and remember those who have died in the line of duty. Thanks to the efforts of the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation, Niagara Falls and the CN Tower will be lit up in red tonight to mark the occasion. What will be lit up in red in Ottawa?
