A community officer was at the same event as us in Sandy Hill. He was very upset about their loss at the sirens series. I reminded him we beat them at boxing as well.

Hi @crimegarden Now that Eric and Greg have been found not guilty on all charges someone should write a story about it. Seems to be pretty quiet compared to the daily stories during the trial

Firefighters helped a resident who was injured while walking on a trail in the 4400 block of West Hunt Club Rd this afternoon. At approx. 15:09, Firefighters made their way 500m into the forest on a walking trail and located the resident who had a fall and was unable to exit on their own. Firefighters used a stokes basket with a wheel on the bottom that is carried on board our Heavy Rescue trucks to safely bring the resident out of the forest at 15:36.
@ottawacity residents need to exercise caution right now on walking trails. The changing weather has caused a lot of black ice causing dangerous conditions.

At approx. 06:27 this morning, a 9-1-1 caller reported an individual down an embankment and in the canal near Queen Elizabeth Drwy & the Laurier Ave Bridge. Firefighters arrived 2min after being dispatched and confirmed one person in the water and quickly set up a roof ladder to access the individual. Firefighters confirmed the individual was unable to use his extremities and was suffering from hypothermia. At 06:38, Firefighters had brought the individual over a railing and got them out of the water. The individual was placed on a stokes basket and was going in and out of consciousness. Firefighters, along with our Water Rescue Technicians, assessed and treated the individual and placed them in the back of their truck to keep them warm prior to Paramedics arrival. We cleared the scene at 06:47. #OttNews

Today was an extraordinary day as @OttFire welcomed our NICU babies and staff to their #family. Presenting them with a regimental Challenge Coin, minted to recognize the tremendous contribution to building the Ottawa Fire Services team. 🤍 🚒
Our Neonatal ICU babies are in the process of being transferred back to the General Campus. 💙
We’re extremely grateful to the teams at @OttawaFire and @CHEO for their tremendous support in ensuring the safety of our most vulnerable patients.
Even being there we didn’t fully understand the precarious situation some of these babies could have been in. Hats off the the hospital staff, we are lucky to have them in ottawa. @OttawaHospital @OttFire #ottnews

Between approximately 12am-2am this morning, Firefighters & staff from the @OttawaHospital moved 17 neonatal ICU babies from the 8th floor ICU down the stairs to be taken to @CHEO due to the power loss. Most of the babies were under 1000 grams (2.2 pounds).
Also, prior to midnight, Firefighters also carried 4 women in labour down the stairs using chairs & multiple women who had just given birth so they could be brought to different hospitals. #OttNews
