From the Oshawa Fire Services 2006 Annual Report:

In 2006 with the opening of the new Fire Station 5 Oshawa Fire Services undertook a recruitment and training initiative unparalleled in more than 40 years. With the hiring of 20 new staff for the new station (Station 5).

It took Oshawa Fire more than 40 years to catch up with the growth in Oshawa before, are we going to have to wait that long again?

Why did the #OSHAWAFIRE Chief open Station 6 with 0 new Firefighters?

It's time for the Oshawa Fire Chief to start putting #PUBLICSAFETY first.

It's time to put the right amount of FIRE FIGHTERS and FIRE TRUCKS on the road in our community each and every day!
