"Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to explore our website. I hope you find the information informative and that it helps you to further protect the ones you love.

The dedicated firefighters that serve the residents of Plympton-Wyoming are engaged in training for emergency response and educating the public. While they certainly would like to meet every resident and pass along meaningful fire safety messaging, meeting during an emergency is not our goal. Please take the time to make sure your home is safe and do everything you can to protect your family by preventing a fire from occurring. This means consciously implementing good fire prevention practices every day and avoiding having a fire in your home. This also means having working early detection in your home, such as smoke alarms, and teaching your family what to do if they sound.

Lithium-ion battery fires have been on the rise in the province of Ontario, and everyone needs to do their part. With the increased use of battery-operated tools, equipment, and devices, we need a clear understanding of what we can do to prevent a fire in our home. Remember to only charge batteries with the proper charging cord, make sure the cord and charger are in good condition and only purchase tools, equipment, batteries and chargers that are certified and from a reputable manufacturer. Charging phones, laptops and other similar devices should only be done on hard surfaces. Avoid leaving these items to charge on soft surfaces that may combust and cause a fire to spread throughout your home.

The Plympton-Wyoming Fire Department would like to thank you for your continued support and for taking your role in fire prevention seriously. Together, let’s prevent as many fires as we can and give our families the early warning they deserve for the ones we can’t prevent. Remember, in a fire every second counts.

If you or someone you know is interested in serving the community as a firefighter, I encourage you to go to our recruitment page and submit an application. Becoming a firefighter takes countless hours of training but I’m sure you will find it as rewarding as we do.

Thank you for doing your part in fire safety,

Director of Emergency Services / Fire Chief

Will Davidson
