  • Extensive applied knowledge of Incident Command System principles and practices, demonstrated through direct experience interpreting, implementing, and functioning within command-and-control structures during emergency incidents.
  • Thorough knowledge of fire department operational guidelines, regulations, standing orders, policies and applicable Municipal and Provincial Codes, Acts and Bylaws
  • Thorough knowledge of the Fire Safety Act, the Fire Department Act, other relevant Federal and Provincial acts and regulations, codes and standards along with municipal bylaws, policies and procedures
  • Ability to deal tactfully and effectively with internal and external partners and communicate effectively both verbally and in writing 


The salary range for this regular full-time position is $170,075 to $188,972 annually (2026 rates), plus an excellent benefits package including one of Canada’s top pension plans.
