Fire Services

The Strathroy-Caradoc Fire Department is a volunteer-based service that provides a range of programs to protect the lives and properties of the inhabitants of the Municipality from the adverse effects of fires, sudden medical emergencies, or exposure to dangerous conditions created by man or nature.

The Strathroy-Caradoc Fire Department operates three fire stations located in Strathroy, Mount Brydges, and Melbourne. The Administration Office for the department is located in Strathroy.

The department consists of a full-time fire chief, deputy chief, fire services coordinator, fire prevention officer, and an administrative assistant, as well as a volunteer deputy fire chief who are responsible for the administration and management of the combined fire service of the municipality. A District Fire Chief, a Deputy District Fire Chief, Captains, and a complement of firefighters are responsible for the operation of each of the three fire stations.
