The draft Fire Master Plan and Community Risk Assessment are now available online.

At this time, the Oshawa community is invited to provide comment on the draft Fire Master Plan and Community Risk Assessment by completing a feedback form online on Connect Oshawa.

The Special Meeting of Council previously scheduled for Tuesday, March 24 has been cancelled in response to COVID-19. The meeting will be rescheduled and delegation details will be shared at that time. Paper versions of the feedback form will be available at Service Oshawa upon the reopening of City Hall to the public.

Feedback on this phase will be forwarded to Dillon Consulting Limited for consideration in revisions made to the draft Fire Master Plan and draft Community Risk Assessment. Due to the impacts of COVID-19, we currently do not have a date for the presentation of the final Fire Master Plan and Community Risk Assessment to Council.

The draft Fire Master Plan was informed by the draft Community Risk Assessment, legislation, industry best practices and community and stakeholder input. The Fire Master Plan assesses current and future levels of service and programs provided by Oshawa Fire Services and will guide the City’s fire services for the next ten years.
