History

Paid fire services in the city of Montreal date back to 1863.

In 2002, as the result of provincially-mandated municipal mergers, the 23 existing suburban fire services were merged with that of the City of Montreal to form the SIM, which now serves over 1.8 million people.

There are 65 fire stations across Montreal, staffed by 2700 employees (2300 fire fighters and 400 support staff).

Two stations are in the planning stage, 32 to be built in Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles and 59, to be built in Pierrefonds-Roxboro.

Labor Activities

In early and mid 2008, the fire fighters were fighting for higher wages and opted to re-badge the city's fire trucks with Toronto FD logos and banners as a "pressure tactic". Select trucks had banners with "City of Toronto" added to the front fender. Toronto FD logos (with centre of logo with a Montreal skyline) were added to the doors of fire trucks. Firefighters wore Toronto FD t-shirts at the stations across the city. Neither the city nor Toronto Fire Services approved of their tactics.
