The Tillsonburg Fire Department is hosting a Sensory Friendly Fire Hall Event specifically designed for individuals with disabilities or developmental needs and their caregivers. This "No Lights and Sirens" event provides a calm environment to explore the fire hall and equipment without the overwhelming noise and visual stimuli typically associated with emergency services.

We are proud to recognize the men and women of the Tillsonburg Fire Communications Center during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.
Every year during the second week of April, the telecommunications personnel in the public safety community, are honored. This week-long event, is a time to celebrate and thank those who dedicate their lives to serving the public. It is a week that should be set aside so everyone can be made aware of their hard work and dedication.
All public safety dispatchers (Fire, Police, EMS and more) are one of the initial points of contact with the community during an emergency. The dispatchers' role is crucial in gathering information, assessing, and deploying appropriate emergency response when time is of the essence. The skills, knowledge, and dedication each dispatcher exhibits while assisting the public deserve recognition, not only during this week of celebration, but throughout the year. Our Tillsonburg Fire Dispatchers are the calm voice at the other end of the line connecting the community to public safety in a time of need. They serve a vital role in ensuring the safety of our community and our Firefighters.
