Cold weather and snow make it extra slippery outside. Take additional care when stepping off the last step of stairs. This is a common place for a fall. Use the handrail when available for extra support.

#NHFactCheck ❌Myth: If I’m unsure where to go for care, the ED is always the best choice. ✅Fact: Many non-urgent issues can be treated faster at walk in clinics, urgent care, pharmacies, or through virtual urgent care. 👉Know your healthcare options: ow.ly/jZ0G50XY8I7

Fire Chief’s Coins were awarded to Mercedes Soose (Pittsburg) & Leya Foster (Welland) for their incredible courage and compassion in helping a stranger in medical distress. They also met EMS Communicator Heather Potts, who was the calm, steady voice on the other end of the line.

Make sure paramedics can quickly access your updated medical information in an emergency. Keep a list of your medical history, allergies, medications, and emergency contacts on your fridge or in an easy-to-see spot. Being prepared can save your life! #HelpUsHelpYou

Vehicle emergencies can happen on the road. Prepare for the seasons. Keep a vehicle emergency kit with essentials like a flashlight, booster cables, a blanket, water, snacks, and a first aid kit. Ensure your wipers are in good condition for the summer months. @St_Catharines
