Home > Fire Commissioner's Message

Welcome to our Web Site. It is my hope that you will find our site informative and user friendly.

The Office of the Fire Commissioner is a very diverse organization covering many aspects of fire and life safety. Our Website will provide you with information on each of our sections, which have their own unique set of priorities and goals. From Fire Investigations, Fire and Building Code application, to Emergency Response and Training, I believe our organization does attempt to meet the challenges of today's Emergency Services.

I would like to draw particular attention to the section on the Manitoba Emergency Services College. Our College is the training section of our Office, a full range of programs is available in all areas for fire and life safety education. Fire fighter training, building and fire inspector, rescue, hazardous materials response, EMS and many other areas related to fire and life safety education are available through our College. Programs are available at the facility in Brandon, or we will custom design for your organization. Whether you are an emergency services organization, industry, or a member of the public we probably have a program that would meet your needs.

If you believe that anything we describe in this Web site can be of assistance to you in any way please do not hesitate to call the numbers you will find throughout this site. Our organization strives to provide "quality customer services."
