Historical Articles

The Toronto Fire Historical Society has been fortunate to work with the Toronto Professional Fire Fighters’  Association and the editors of FireWatch Magazine to share an interesting look back at the history of the department. Physical copies of the magazine are delivered to active and retired members of the TPFFA on a quarterly basis, with each issue archived online. Please enjoy the articles we have had published below.
