Ottawa Fire Service (OFS) protects the lives, property and environment of the people who live, work and visit the City of Ottawa. Service personnel are highly trained to respond to a wide variety of emergency and non-emergency incidents including fires, rescues and medical and hazardous-material emergencies.
Like most North American fire departments, the Ottawa Fire Services is organized in a paramilitary fashion. The current Chief of the department is John deHooge. Serving Under deHooge are three Deputy Chiefs, four Platoon Chiefs, five Division Chiefs, four Rural Sector Chiefs and twenty District Chiefs.
The current Ottawa Fire Service came into existence in 2001 with the amalgamation of 9 fire departments from Ottawa and the surrounding areas, including Ottawa, Gloucester, Cumberland, Kanata, Nepean, Osgoode, Rideau Valley, Goulbourn and West Carleton. Fire Station 47 is in District 4 and it was officially opened January 10, 2012, after amalgamation.

The newly constructed three-bay, 12,250-square-foot station is the result of a $9.2 million investment by the City and will house the Ottawa Fire Services’ fire hose repair and maintenance depot.
Fire Station 47 was designed to incorporate sustainable design features that will reduce energy consumption, lessen water usage, efficiently improve heating and cooling capacities, while using natural, renewable, recycled and regionally produced materials in the construction.
