📚🔥 Inspiring the Next Generation of First Responders and Safety Professionals! 🔥📚 This week in Guelph, we had an incredible time with the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) students, diving into the many career opportunities available in first response and private industry. From trying on chemical protective clothing and firefighter bunker gear to shooting off fire extinguishers, learning about fire blankets, and discussing basic spill response techniques, these students gained hands-on experience to prepare them for workplace emergencies. The passion and curiosity they showed while exploring fire safety, hazardous materials response, and workplace emergency planning were inspiring. As these students finish their co-op placements and look ahead to their future careers, the possibilities are endless! We’re excited to continue collaborating with school boards across Ontario in 2025 to empower even more SHSM students with the knowledge and skills to succeed in the fire service, safety industries, and beyond.🧯💦 #FirehouseTraining #SHSM #FirstResponders #FireSafety #HazmatTraining #CareerDevelopment #FutureLeaders
