Fire Services

The City of Steinbach has always prided itself on having a dedicated and efficient fire department. With over 50 highly trained fire fighters and state-of-the-art equipment, the City can rely on its excellent fire protection. The result of these services is a city with a very high safety and security rating. The Steinbach Fire Department is a paid-on-call department, meaning firefighters are paid only for the fire calls and training that they attend. The fire department attends over 300 incidents annually.

The Steinbach Fire Hall is located at 477 Main Street.  Features of the Fire Hall include a large apparatus bay with room for fleet expansion, and a classroom which will also function as the EMO (Emergency Measures Organization) Centre in an emergency situation. One of the key features of the fire hall is its tower which contains a hose drying rack (operated by a power winch), a staircase, and a fire stand pipe used for training purposes. 

The Steinbach Fire Department runs a fire prevention program that targets elementary school aged children in Steinbach. Every fall, approximately 500 students tour the Steinbach Fire Hall and get educated on the importance of fire safety and prevention. 

The Fire Department also hosts the community at its an annual Fire Hall open house, the second week of October, coinciding each year with National Fire Prevention Week. Check the Event Calendar for Fire Hall Open House details.

The Fire Department encourages all citizens to have an up-to-date home fire escape plan, and to practice it regularly.
