Suppression Division
The Suppression Division of the Kitchener Fire Department is the front line. When most people think Fire Department, this is what they are thinking of. The Division is made up of 4 platoons, who staff the city's 7 fire halls, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Kitchener provides a complete range of emergency response services, including:

	Fire Suppression,
	Hazardous Materials,
	Water Rescue,
	Rope Rescue,
	Motor Vehicle Collisions,
	Medical Response, Defibrillation,
	Trench Rescue,
	Building Collapse, and any other situation in which there is no where else to turn.

When not responding to calls, the crews are involved in a rigorous program to keep their skills in the above areas sharp. In addition they participate in a number of public education programs, such as our annual Home Fire Safety Inspections, where crews go door to door in their neighbourhoods.
