“We hold thee safe”
The Winnipeg Fire Department was established in 1882.
Firefighting is a profession where its members are called upon daily to risk their own lives to save others from dangerous situations. Firefighters undergo rigorous training and continually upgrade their skills to be able to safely fight fires and perform rescue operations.

Congratulations to OHMIC on FTF.
