The Office of the Fire Commissioner is mandated under the Fires Prevention and Emergency Response Act to determine the cause and origin of every fire in Manitoba. This is carried out by the local fire chiefs but in many instances the service of the Office is called upon to provide this service. Currently all Emergency Services Officers are trained to provide a basic level of investigation service, with the ability to request technical support from the full-time investigation staff. There are fourteen Emergency Services Officers in the Province. They area located in Winnipeg, Brandon, Thompson, The Pas and Dauphin. There are three full-time fire investigators in Winnipeg and one in Brandon. The information gathered at the fire scene and compiled by the Statistics Section is used to design Fire and Life Safety programs and brochures for target groups. This information is also used to have unsafe appliances recalled. Manitoba Emergency Services College Codes & Standards Investigations Municipal Support Emergency Response Administration top
