Nothing says summer like gathering around a campfire, but safety should always come first.

🔥 Before lighting a fire:

- Check local fire restrictions and burn bans.
- Keep your campfire in a designated fire pit or ring.
- Clear away dry grass, leaves, and other flammable materials.
- Keep water, sand, or a shovel nearby.
- Never leave a campfire unattended.

When you're done, fully extinguish the fire with water, stir the ashes, and add more water until everything is cool to the touch.

A safe campfire helps protect you, your fellow campers, and the environment. Enjoy the outdoors responsibly this summer.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a simple device that can help restart a heart during sudden cardiac arrest, but only if it’s found and used quickly.

AEDs are more common than many people realize. You’ll often find them in places like workplaces, schools, shopping centers, and gyms. They are usually mounted on walls in clearly marked cabinets with a bright AED sign so they can be accessed quickly.

In an emergency, fast action matters. Knowing where the nearest AED is in the places you visit regularly can make all the difference!

Consider taking a first-aid course to learn how to recognize cardiac arrest and use an AED confidently. Sign up here https://sja.ca/en/training/first-aid/standard-intermediate-first-aid

🌊 Whether you're heading to the beach, the cottage, or the pool this summer, a little preparation can go a long way.

Many water-related emergencies happen quickly and unexpectedly, but simple safety habits can help prevent them. Supervising children, wearing a lifejacket, swimming with a buddy, and staying aware of your surroundings are all important steps to staying safe in and around water.

Taking a basic first aid class can also make a real difference; knowing how to respond in an emergency helps you act quickly and confidently when it matters most. You can sign up here https://sja.ca/en/training/first-aid/standard-intermediate-first-aid

Before your next day on the water, take a moment to review water safety tips with your family and friends!

☀️ Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can look similar, but only one is a medical emergency.

As temperatures rise, knowing the warning signs can help you act quickly and keep yourself and others safe.

Heat Exhaustion: The body is struggling to cool itself. Move to a cool place, rest, and rehydrate.
Heat Stroke: The body's cooling system has failed. Call 911 immediately and begin cooling the person while waiting for help.

Whether you're spending the day at a festival, on a hike, at the beach, or working outdoors, remember to take breaks, stay hydrated, and watch for signs of heat-related illness.

What does emergency response really look like behind the scenes?

At "Inside the Response: Emergency Management in Action," we opened our doors to showcase how St. John Ambulance prepares for critical moments. This event featured hands-on demonstrations of our Emergency Response Units and highlighted the skills of our Medical First Responders and Therapy Dog teams. It underscored the extensive training, equipment, and dedication required to be ready at any time. Emergency response is built on continuous training, preparation, and the commitment of volunteers who are always ready to step in when their communities need them most.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to support this important work. If you'd like to learn more about our Emergency Response Unit, take a look here
