    Who We Are
    Established in 1920, the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association is the representative voice for more than 12,000 professional full-time firefighters in over 80 cities, towns, and regions, servicing over 85% of Ontario's population.
     
    What We Do
    The Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association provides leadership, representation, education, and support to improve the personal and professional lives of Ontario's fire service professionals.
     
    Who We Represent
    Today’s professional firefighter does more than just fight fires. Professional firefighters are available 24/7, 365 days a year to respond quickly to serious medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, hazardous materials calls, industrial accidents, ice/water, and other technical rescues.

    Ontario is improving cancer coverage for firefighters by lowering the duration of employment needed to receive presumed (automatic) compensation prior to diagnosis with esophageal cancer from 25 to 15 years. This means a firefighter with 24 years of service would no longer have to contest that their esophageal cancer was work-related, giving them faster access to WSIB benefits and other critical services.

    TORONTO - On Monday, October 2nd, the OPFFA hosted a fundraiser in support of the Runnymede Health Centre's new Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) Centre of Excellence for First Responders.

    TORONTO – On Sunday, October 1, 2023, Ontario’s fallen firefighters were honoured for their bravery, heroism, and sacrifice at a special ceremony held at the Ontario Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial located on the southeast corner of Queens Park.

    Ontario’s government is investing more than $430,000 towards Fire Ground Survival (“FGS”) and Peer Support training for OPFFA members.

    The Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association commends the provincial government for recognizing the dangers of a career in firefighting and amending the presumptive legislation to include thyroid and pancreatic cancers on the list of occupational diseases.
