The Office of the Fire
Commissioner is currently implementing the online version of the Fire Department
Management System into fire departments throughout Manitoba. The online
system has the same look and feel as the current version used by the local
departments. The difference is that the reports can now be uploaded to the
OFC via the internet. As well, fire department reports submitted to the
OFC are backed up centrally which alleviates the chances of data loss.
If we haven't contacted
your department already, we will be in the near future.
If you have any questions
regarding the online system implementation or would like help completing a fire
report, please contact:
