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 + Rescue 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.
