Toronto splits it's Marine emergency end rescue services between the Police and Fire Departments. The Police Marine Unit is not far from here. (.2 miles away)
The Fire Department's webpage for this station (visit link) provides only this information:

"Date built: 2000
Square footage:
(sq. ft.) 13,000"

But from Wikipedia (visit link) we are provided two photos of Fire boats and this information:

"The Toronto Fire Department and successor Toronto Fire Services has operated fire boats since 1923.

Charles A. Reed - a wood hull boat entered service in 1923 and remained in use until 1964[5]
William Lyon Mackenzie - entered service in 1964 replacing Charles A. Reed; main fire boat and icebreaker
Sora - light utility boat built in 1982 for the Canadian Coast Guard and acquired by TFS in 2006; back up to WL Mackenzie, but lacks icebreaking features."

This unit also has traditional land based trucks as well.

Coordinates are for the location where the William Lyon Mackenzie is docked. The cooridnates for the entrance to the fire station itself are N43 38.270 W079 23.305
