Information about the
department
It
is important to understand that
although there have been many advances made through the introduction of
modern technology, firefighting remains a very labour intensive
occupation.
There
are 3 stations throughout the city and
there is an non-staffed station at the airport. Personnel are spread
across suppression and rescue division, prevention, public education,
administration, communications, training and emergency management,
totalling 99 personnel.
Peterborough
Fire Services serves a
residential population of 74,000, and a day population of ~90,000. The
response area covers 53 km square. We cover some 700 streets, 38
schools, Trent
University, Sir Sandford Fleming College,
and 52
churches, 17 nursing homes, and 150 industrial and 900 commercial
businesses. Our goal is to reach any fire/accident scene inside the
city within 6 minutes, while driving safely for the circumstances.
We hope
you enjoy the tour of our website.
