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. Under the current Chief of the Department 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 the surrounding areas, including Ottawa, Gloucester, Cumberland, Kanata, Nepean, Osgoode, Rideau Valley, Goulbourn and West Carleton.
Fire Station 51 is in District 5. Prior to amalgamation, this station was called Ottawa Fire Department #5. It has Pumper 51, Ladder 51 and Officer's Car 50.
