Even though first responders are trained to understand the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and to recognize potential signs and symptoms, CO poisoning can go unrecognized and untreated, leading to short-term risk and long-term health problems.

Know the facts about CO poisoning

• CO poisoning can be difficult to detect.
  • CO poisoning can present with flu-like symptoms, but it is also possible to be poisoned without having any symptoms at all.1
• CO poisoning puts firefighters at significant risk at the scene of a fire.
  • Even mild CO poisoning causes mental confusion, which can lead to poor decision making, putting both the exposed firefighter and others on the fire scene at risk.2
  • Mild CO poisoning can also rob the heart and brain of oxygen – nearly 50% of line of duty firefighter deaths are attributed to heart disease or stroke.3 That's why new NFPA 1584 rehab standards support the use of on-scene CO testing.4
• CO poisoning significantly increases long-term health risks.
  • Just one severe CO poisoning almost doubles the risk of premature death.5
  • Consistent exposure to CO poisoning may cause long term heart and brain damage.6

What you can do to protect yourself

• Wear your mask during overhaul
• Test for carbon monoxide in the blood with an approved noninvasive device

Introducing a Volunteer Firefighters Tax Credit
Volunteer firefighters play a critical role in serving their communities,often putting themselves at risk for the safety of their neighbours and the protection of their neighbours’ property. According to the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs, almost 85,000 volunteer firefighters provide their services to protect the lives and property of Canadians living in both urban and rural communities across Canada.

Budget 2011 announces a 15-per-cent non-refundable Volunteer Firefighters Tax Credit on an amount of $3,000 for volunteer firefighters. This credit will be available to volunteer firefighters who perform at least 200 hours of service for their communities during a year. Eligible volunteer firefighters who currently receive honoraria in respect of their duties as volunteer firefighters will be able to choose between the new tax credit and continuing to be entitled to the existing tax exemption of up to $1,000 for honoraria.  This measure will apply for the 2011 and subsequent taxation years.

It is estimated to reduce federal revenues by $5 million in 2010–11 and
$15 million in each of 2011–12 and 2012–13.

Volunteer Firefighters Tax Credit—Example
Paul is a volunteer firefighter at the Kensington Fire Department in Prince Edward Island. In 2011, Paul performed over 200 hours of volunteer firefighting services for the fire department. With the introduction of the Volunteer Firefighters Tax Credit, Paul may claim a 15-per-cent non-refundable tax credit on an amount of $3,000.
