The Woolwich Fire Department is a volunteer organization that provides emergency service within its boundaries as well as for portions of our neighbouring municipalities. Activities include any life-threatening emergency such as fire, vehicle accidents, hazardous spills, medical situations, rescues and responding to carbon monoxide and smoke detector alarms.
Volunteer fire fighters use green flashing lights on their personal vehicles when responding to emergencies. Please be courteous and yield the right-of-way.
The department operates five stations, Conestogo, Elmira, Floradale, Maryhill and St. Jacobs.
There are a total of 130 personnel including a full-time Township Fire Chief, a full-time Deputy Fire Chief, a full-time assistant, a part-time Chief Fire Prevention Officer, and 5 District Chiefs.
The department has served the community for over 100 years and has several 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation volunteer fire fighters.
