Book a presentation for your community group
Take part in an interactive presentation delivered by fire and paramedic professionals to teach community groups about fire safety and prevention, injury and illness prevention, disaster preparedness, careers in emergency response, 9-1-1 and more.
Fire safety
Learn about fire safety from firefighters who will lead a presentation tailored for your group's interests or concerns.
Paramedics and life safety
Learn about how paramedics help in emergencies, when to call 9-1-1, and medical safety tips. This can be customized for your group’s needs.
Ready Winnipeg
Learn about emergencies and disasters that could face Winnipeg, and how the city prepares and responds. You will also learn about how to prepare yourself and your household for major storms, floods, power outages, and more. This interactive presentation will be customized for your group’s age and goals.
Fire-paramedic station tours
Bring your group to a local fire-paramedic station for a behind-the-scenes look at firefighting and paramedic equipment, emergency vehicles, and daily operations.
Request a tour at a fire-paramedic station. Here you can meet firefighters and paramedics in your community and learn about the vehicles and tools they use.
Tours are about one hour long, are subject to availability, and may be interrupted for emergency responses. If the station crew leaves to respond to an emergency, you will be asked to leave the station. Request a tour for your community group.
Tours are offered every day, depending on availability:
9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Fire safety trailer
Book the Fire Safety Trailer for your community group. This trailer offers students the chance to experience a fire and practice in real-time what they would do to get out if their home caught on fire.
The Fire Safety House simulates a fire and allows participants to practice how they would escape a fire in real time. Plus, WFPS members discuss fire safety, home escape planning, cooking safety and more.
You can request the Fire Safety House from May to August each year.
The Fire Safety House truck is provided in partnership with the Burn Fund and Murray Chevrolet.
Fire evacuation drills
Some buildings require a fire safety plan under the National Fire Code. You may request a fire truck and crew to attend and observe your emergency evacuation procedure to learn about building layout, fire protection systems, and on-site equipment and hazards.
Fire crews are on-duty during these drills and may be called to an emergency. This service is not available between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m.
Request a crew for your Fire Drill
SAFE Family program
A smoke alarm can save your life by alerting you to a fire and giving you time to get out of a building safely. If you live in and own your home, you might qualify for a free one installed by WFPS.
Child Car Seat Inspections
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service does not offer child car seat inspections.
For information on how to properly install your child's car seat or booster seat, please check the manufacturer's instructions or website. Additional information is available from Manitoba Public Insurance.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service supports the Province of Manitoba's child car seat requirements. You should always use the appropriate car seat or booster seat when transporting children in vehicles.
