About Fire and Emergency Service
East Gwillimbury's Fire and Emergency Service (EGFES) is comprised of paid-on-call and career firefighters who provide emergency services to the community. EGFES's priority is a safe community which our team promotes through the three lines of defence: public education, fire prevention, and emergency response.
The EGFES department is made up of three branches:
|
Community Education and Fire Prevention |

The Community Education and Prevention branches are responsible for:
They provide fire and life safety education through information sessions and presentations to businesses, schools, organizations, and community groups. Book an information session using the request form below. Community Education and Prevention Request Form   |
|
Training |
The Training Branch is responsible for:
Training is always evolving and adapting with new techniques, equipment, and technology. Training remains an important part of the fire department's normal activities to ensure a state of readiness. With the large variety of situations the department responds to, it is important that all members of the department remain current in the areas of firefighting, rescue, automatic external defibrillation, CPR, and basic life support. In addition to the basic firefighting skills learned and continually trained on, there are many more in specific skills required for specialty/technical incidents.

| Fire Suppression |

Personnel also assist with community education and prevention programs.
