Two years ago we first posted this picture outlining how calls for service from our community are increasing. Over the three years we studied we saw an 18% increase, but no corresponding increase of fire department resources for your community.

That isn’t right. We won’t stop advocating for the City of Oshawa to make investments in Public Safety.

Two years ago we released a report that highlighted deficiencies in how Oshawa Fire Service operates that puts public safety at risk. The risk still remains today as Oshawa City Council and the Oshawa Fire Chief have not reversed their irresponsible decision to cut staffing and front line fire trucks in the downtown core at station one. Station one is the busiest in our city and services an area with a very high fire risk, yet it has half of the frontline firefighters and firetrucks today then it use to have.

We are committed to the safety of our community and we continue to advocate today for the reversal of this decision. Put public safety first. Put the fire truck back.

Today we pause, reflect and honour our fallen. On Firefighters’ National Memorial Day.

They shall not be forgotten.

This is just as relevant today as it was in November of 2018 when we first shared it, as the busiest station in the City, Fire Hall one, still remains short one firetruck and the firefighters that use to staff it until they were cut.

For over two years Oshawa Firefighters have advocating that the City of Oshawa reverse the decision to cut the fire truck and firefighters from Station One in the downtown core.

We remain committed to ensuring our community has the highest level fo fire safety possible.
