    About our service

    Fie Chief portrait

    Fire protection is funded and serviced by the City of Elliot Lake. The Fire Protection and Prevention Act outlines our role. You can also visit the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), which provides useful information about safety regulations and the impact of fire in your community.

    Our Fire Department is also a key member of our Emergency Preparedness Plan. Read more on what to do during an emergency and the dangers of wildfires in our area.

    We'd like to hear from you

    We want to be a good resource for you and your family. Please let us know if any information or helpful links are missing from our web pages. You can also tell us a little about yourself so we may gather useful information to help our public education programs. Email the Fire Department or call us at 705-848-3232.
