Introduction

For decades, the Ontario Fire Service has benefited from an abundance of recruits who have served in the and have brought with them a knowledge of military discipline, conduct, customs and protocol. With the reduction in the size of military forces, the fire service has lost the benefit of this experience.

However, the general public continues to hold the fire service in the highest esteem, expecting a professional, disciplined deportment from firefighters. On certain occasions, such as national holidays, memorial services, funerals, etc., the Ontario Fire Service is often called upon to be involved in parades where marching skills are required. The Ontario Fire Service is also involved in hosting events such as retirement dinners, recruit graduation ceremonies, investitures and presentations. INTRODUCTION All of these activities require firefighters to dress in uniform. When wearing ii a uniform in public firefighters are expected to act in a specific manner. How firefighters conduct themselves reflects on the entire fire service.

As community role models, public image is very important to the role and function of the fire service. Proper protocol, deportment and marching skills portray a positive public image, foster respect for the fire service and depict firefighters as professional members of the community.

This manual is designed and intended to provide guidance to the fire service for a wide variety of events in which a firefighter may participate.

I would like to thank the Canadian Forces, the Ontario Provincial Police, and the York Regional Police Services for their co-operation in providing some of the material produced in this manual. I would also like to dedicate this manual to all firefighters who protect the citizens of the province of Ontario. PROTOCOL FOR THE ONTARIO FIRE SERVICE
