Vancouver Fire Department wins social media with Simpsons-inspired Snowmageddon Tweet
As hordes of panicky people prepared themselves for another round of winter weather on Wednesday, the Vancouver Fire Department offered some advice to residents on how to deal with it.
More snow on the way. Vancouver, we can get through this, we’ve practiced: less speed, allow more time, take transit, breathe deep and relax pic.twitter.com/y4ytoVJLrw

However, just hours later, the VFD “rescinded” their advice and channelled classic Simpsons hilarity when advising people what to do next.
This just in: snow flakes have been seen! We rescind our previous advice to relax and firmly believe it’s time to panic. pic.twitter.com/mX4gZEONG8

Of course, this is a nod to The Simpsons episode that sees citizens create a mass exodus from Springfield, in search of buried treasure.
No word yet though, on whether this latest round of the white stuff will maintain a “Winter Wonderland” status, or be upgraded to a “Class 3 Killstorm.”
Either way, well played, Vancouver Fire Department. Well played.
