Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services


Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services provides provides fire protection, technical rescue services, hazardous materials response, and first responder emergency medical assistance to the city of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
The Fire Service was established in 1968 and formed from local departments that existed prior to the creation of Mississauga, Ontario. The Port Credit Fire Department and Streetsville Fire Departments were added upon the amalgamation of those communities with Mississauga in 1974. MFES was mainly made up of the Toronto Township Volunteer Fire Department, itself created from volunteer units in the 1870s. By 1975, Mississauga's fire service was a full-time service.
Mississauga Fire co-ordinates with Toronto Fire Services, Brampton Fire and Emergency Services, and Peel Regional Paramedic Services for additional help and practicing emergency disaster exercises. In 2017, MFES responded to over 34,000 emergency calls.

Fire stations and apparatus

Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon underwent a region-wide renumbering of stations and apparatus in the 1990s. Each station is assigned a 3 digit number and its apparatus has an additional alphabetic prefix. The prefix identifies the type of apparatus, the first digit identifies the municipality, and the remaining two digits identify the station. The municipality identifiers are '1' for Mississauga, '2' for Brampton, and '3' for Caledon.
For example, P122 would be a pumper assigned to Mississauga's no. 22 station, S205 would be a rescue pumper assigned to Brampton's no. 5 station and so on. Spare apparatus would be numbered with a 5 as the second digit in the number
As of July 2020, MFES currently operates 21 fire stations and the following apparatus:
