The Toronto Fire Services (TFS) provides fire protection and first responder or emergency medical responder assistance to the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Toronto Fire Services is currently the largest municipal fire department in Canada.

Overview

The Toronto Fire Services was created in 1998 from the merger of the former fire departments of the original City of Toronto, East York, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough and York. It is the largest fire department in Canada and the 5th largest municipal fire department in North America.

Mission

Dedicated to protecting life, property, and the environment through education, prevention, and emergency response.

History

Fire services in Toronto began in 1874 in the former City of Toronto, and still consisted of volunteer fire companies. Prior to 1874, fire services were composed of poorly trained volunteer companies in the city. The first company was created in 1826 and hook and ladder in 1831. Most were able bodied men who were trained to operate pumps to draw water from the lake. A wooden pumper truck presented to Toronto by British America Assurance Company c.1837 is now found at Black Creek Pioneer Village.[3]


The city's poor fire fighting services were highlighted by the Great Toronto Fire in 1849 and again in 1904. After the latter fire, which destroyed much of Bay Street from The Esplanade West to Melinda Street, the Fire Department in Toronto became a critical city service and has evolved into the full time service that exists today.

Organization

The Fire Chief (C1), under whom serve five deputy Chiefs (C2, C3, C4, C5, C50), are all based at 4330 Dufferin Street - the central headquarters for both Toronto Fire and Toronto Paramedic Services. The four division commanders (C6, C7, C8, C9) are each based in their respective commands - north, east, south and west.

Alan F. Speed became the first Fire Chief of the amalgamated Toronto Fire Services in 1997. He served in that post until his retirement in April of 2003.

Following Speed's retirement, William (Bill) Stewart was appointed Fire Chief in 2003 and served until his retirement was announced on April 30, 2012.

Jim Sales is a former Markham Fire Chief who also worked as a political bureaucrat in Town of Markham and as General Manager with the City of Barrie prior to his appointment.[7] Sales was Fire Chief in Markham from 2000 to 2001 and in Edmonton from 1988 to 2000.[8]

Matthew Pegg was appointed as interim Fire Chief in May of 2016, following Sales' departure.[9] Pegg became permanent Chief in April 2017. Pegg served as Deputy Fire Chief of Administration prior to being appointed Fire Chief.

Previous Chiefs

With the exception of Sales, Toronto Fire Services and Toronto Fire Department Chiefs have been promoted within the department's ranks. Peter Ferguson was Deputy Chief of the North York Fire Department before becoming Fire Chief of the Toronto Fire Department

Toronto Fire Department began using motorized vehicles after 1910. Before that, the TFD and previous fire companies used horse drawn engines and ladders. Prior to the 1970s, the TFD had open air vehicles (driver cab not covered and mostly aerial trucks), but since then both the TFD and TFS use full covered vehicles. Prior to the 1950s, TFD used tiller-ladder trucks and since have reverted to smaller aerial units that can operate in narrow streets in Toronto.

The TFS inherited all the vehicles of the fire departments prior to amalgamation. The current strength of TFS consists of 179 vehicles. Since amalgamation, apparatus numbers are numbered by a letter and 3 digits. The first digit stands for the command that the apparatus is in (1-North, 2-East, 3-South, 4-West). The second digit stands for the district within the command that the apparatus is in. The last digit stands for the station within the district within the command that the apparatus is assigned to.

A list of types of vehicles used by the TFS: (prefix letter in brackets with "xxx" as placeholders)

  • Aerial (Axxx) - most common ladders found in the city; lengths range from 75 to 105 feet (22.86 to 32 metres)
  • Tower (Txxx) - 2 articulated boom ladders, with 1 found in South and 1 in North Command; length 114 feet (34.75 metres); T331 is now a spare
  • Platform (PLxxx) - 1 ladder with attached platform, found in West Command; length 100 feet (30.48 metres)
  • Pumper (Pxxx)
  • Rescue (Rescue Pumper) (Rxxx) - a pumper with the addition of extrication equipment (Jaws of Life) and other tools
  • Fireboat (FBxxx) - 2 units, both stationed in Toronto Harbour
  • Hazardous Materials Unit (HZxxx) - 1 in both North and South Commands
  • Hazmat Support Unit (HSxxx) - Unmanned equipment vehicle

Fire boats

The Toronto Fire Department and successor Toronto Fire Services has operated fire boats since 1923.

  • Fireboat "Charles A. Reed" - a wood hull boat entered service in 1923 and remained in use until 1964[10]
  • Fireboat "William Lyon Mackenzie" - entered service in 1964 replacing Charles A. Reed; main fire boat and icebreaker
  • Fireboat "Sora" - light utility boat built in 1982 for the Canadian Coast Guard and acquired by TFS in 2006; back up to WL Mackenzie, but lacks icebreaking features. The Sora was retired from TFS on October 31, 2015.
  • Fireboat "William Thornton" - Mid-shore patrol built in 1982 for CCG and acquired by TFS in 2015; has replaced the Sora

Miscellaneous units

While not part of the fleet, Box 12 (Box 12 Association) and Support 7 (Greater Toronto Multiple Alarm Association) are canteen trucks run by volunteers and are present at large emergencies to provide food and beverages for Toronto firefighters. Formed in 1975, the GTMAA vehicles are painted with TFS scheme, but not the logo (using the GTMAA patch instead).

In addition, there are various Hazardous Materials Support trucks and a Trench Rescue Support truck that respond to specialized calls. These trucks are unmanned, and are only used by trained personnel when a specialized call is dispatched. TFS also has a fleet of various mechanical support trucks. Smaller compact cars bearing the TFS colours and logo are driven by fire prevention officers and other commanding officers.

Toronto Fire will also acquire use of the Long Range Acoustic Device. It was one of three purchased by the Toronto Police Service for use during the G20 summit in 2010 (1 for Marine Unit, 2 for Public Safety Unit).[11]

Prior to amalgamation, the Scarborough Fire Department had their fleet painted yellow. In the years following amalgamation the markings on the fire trucks were a patchwork of the various schemes used by the former boroughs. All had "Toronto" decaled or painted where the former borough's name used to be and the new Toronto Fire crest was added with the new numbering scheme. Over the past 19 years - post amalgamation - the majority of the older vehicles have either been retired or repainted to match the new scheme: fire engine red with yellow reflective trim and markings.

Fire stations

The Toronto Fire Services (TFS) currently operates out of 83 Fire Stations (including one open seasonally) throughout the city, organized into 16 Districts. Each District is part of one of four geographical divisions of Command. Each geographical division is divided into four Districts.[12][13]

Budget cuts, vehicle reduction, station closure

As part of the City's 2013 Budget plans, the City of Toronto demanded a 10% cut by all city departments. TFS recommended vehicle reduction at several stations (Stations 213, 215, 324 and 413) and one station to close (Station 424) to meet the 10% reduction target.[14] As well the cuts will lead to fewer firefighters on staff.[14]

In 2014, four4 pumpers (P213, P215, P413, P424) were taken out of service and Station 424 was shut down.

In 2017, the TFS Transformation Plan was developed and introduced. An update on the status of the numerous initiatives that are included in this plan was provided as part of the 2018 budget process.[15]

In 2018, 10 additional staff were added to support the creation of a permanent Toronto Community Housing Fire Safety Task Force.[16] Also in 2018, one additional crew of 21 Operations Firefighters was approved to support the opening of the new Downsview fire station. [17]
