About the OFCA

Our newly formed Association answers the need for a common resource point for Fire Communicators within the Province of Ontario.

Fire Communicators are those responsible for the processing of requests for emergency and non-emergency assistance received via 911 lines, administration lines, the radio system or direct contact with the public. We work closely with Communicators from Police, EMS and other services to provide rapid, effective responses. We take our role in Public and Responder Safety most seriously, and continue to seek ways to enhance professionalism and our levels of service. The occupation of Fire Communicator is indeed a proud one, the vital link between the public and the emergency service response.

The Ontario Fire Communicators' Association (OFCA) will serve as a unified method of sharing information such as: training initiatives & opportunities, policies & procedures, survey results, technical information, hiring procedures, career postings and upcoming events.
