- Our new fire truck 721 was welcomed by A Platoon with a โpush-inโ ceremony, rooted in tradition.
00:00 - Fire engines have about 5 minutes of water on-board. That's 5 minutes to locate your hydrant in a snowdrift, dig it out, and hook up supply hoses before the truck runs out of water. This is all happening while your house is burning down. Help US help YOU by clearing your hydrant.
- What talent! Firefighters design and build their own table for the fire station.
- Today firefighters shine a light on autism, to foster understanding and acceptance for those with autism. Light it up BLUE for autism awareness day. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay #LightItUpBlue
- A big thank-you to Maple Leafs @Marner93 and @MarnerAssist for providing lunch from @burgerspriest to all our firefighters today!

00:00 - Vaughan Fire is on location of Weldrick Road East for a structure fire in Richmond Hill as part of a mutual aid response with Richmond Hill, Markham & Central York Fire Services. This multi-agency response is required for a large residential fire involving 6 out of 8 townhouses.
- Why do we park our trucks the way we do or take up another lane? It's to protect us & @YRP @YorkParamedics (Luckily not our truck in photo!)
