WELCOME TO THE PERTH EAST FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Perth East Fire Department is made up of three stations and a roster of 68 firefighters. The stations are located in Milverton, Sebringville and Shakespeare. The Fire Chief, Fire Prevention Officer and Public Educator operate out of the Municipal Office in Milverton.
COMMUNITY RISK ASSESSMENT
Ontario Regulation 378/18 came into effect on July 1st, 2019 and required all Ontario municipalities to develop a Community Risk Assessment prior to July 1st, 2024. This CRA has been developed for, and by, the Township of Perth East, to comply with this regulation. Municipalities can use their community risk assessments to inform decisions about the provisions of their fire protection services.
The Fire Protection and Prevention Act (FPPA) requires that municipalities provide fire protection programs that “include public education with respect to fire safety and certain components of fire prevention, and provide such other fire protection services as it determines may be necessary in accordance with its needs and circumstances”. The CRA regulation is now a core component of developing an in-depth analysis of a community’s fire related risks through a comprehensive analysis of nine mandatory profiles.
Those nine mandatory profiles are:
- Geographic Profile
- Building Stock Profile
- Critical Infrastructure Profile
- Demographic Profile
- Public Safety and Response Profile
- Community Services Profile
- Hazard Profile
- Economic Profile
- Past Loss and Event History Profile
Within each of the nine profiles, there are a number of sub-topics examined. These profiles are based on an analysis of several sources of information, including data provided by the Township of Perth East, Perth East Fire Department, Statistics Canada, the Ontario Fire Marshal, and staff research.
