Keep our men and women safe !

An extra 200 firefighters have been hired for the 2020 season. It is crucial that facilities remain safe for all staff, which is why we will be closely followin...g the direction of our province’s Chief Medical Officer. All wildland firefighters will complete a pre-screening health survey on a regular basis to reduce risk. Other proactive amendments we’ve made include: increasing hand wash stations at all wildfire facilities increasing sanitation of all surfaces in washrooms and common areas where possible, limiting the number of people in one location removing buffet style meals single occupancy rooms or tents immediately isolating those suspected of infection increasing the use of contracted camps & hotels to supplement our operations

Ontario is prepared for the wildfire season during #COVID19. At 12:01 a.m. on May 16, Ontario is lifting the Restricted Fire Zone designation across the fire region. http://news.ontario.ca/m/56959

A Restricted Fire Zone remains in effect across Ontario’s fire region to ensure public safety & well-being during the COVID-19 outbreak. This preventative measure will ensure that our emergency response system remains strong in the days and months ahead.

On March 22 Due to COVID-19 our Lindsay and North bay SP 100 and WFX Fit tests were postponed. Part of FIre 1 Mission statement is "Your safety is our #1 priority" . To us those are not just words. Those affected were contacted. For those who would like to take a course or test Please visit our website for the new dates.

Ontario's forest fire season starts April 1 and we need your help to report them! If you see flames or smoke, call 911 if you're south of the French and Mattawa rivers, OR 310-FIRE (3473) if you're north of these rivers. Learn more: ontario.ca/forestfire
