Description
Serving the Citizens For Over A Century ~ 2016 Marked Our 115th Anniversary Dispatched via the Provincial 911 system, we are a paid call fire service with a complement of 36 front line firefighters; trained to Level I and II Firefighter; NFPA 1001 – Standard for Professional Firefighter Qualifications.
The Dauphin Fire Department serves the citizens of both the City and Rural Municipality of Dauphin covering an approximate area of 1,036 square kilometers and a population of 10,845 (2016 census). We respond to incidents in the City and surrounding municipality including fires (of any type), motor vehicle collisions, rescues, water rescue as well as basic hazardous materials calls. The Dauphin Fire Department works closely with the members of the Sifton Fire Department located approximately 30 kilometers north of the City of Dauphin.
The history of the Dauphin Fire Department goes all the way back to 1901 when the first organized Fire Brigade was established. The first piece of apparatus was a horse drawn pump, which was sold after the Town of Dauphin purchased its first motorized piece of firefighting apparatus, a 1917 Chevrolet 490. The 1917, along with a 1936 Pumper, have been restored by the Firefighter’s Association and hold a special place of distinction as showpieces of the Department.
Our Firefighter’s Association performs many volunteer duties to raise donations from the community, with which they purchase much needed equipment and donate back to the Fire Department.
The Dauphin Fire Department is also involved throughout the year in Public Education, Fire and Life Safety Inspections, and Pre-Incident Planning. If you require any additional information regarding the services we provide, or just have a general inquiry, please feel free contact us.
Thank you for visiting and have a safe day!

NFPA Safety Tips - Cooking Safety
At approximately 1800 hrs this evening DFD was dispatched to a report of alarms sounding at an apartment building in the southwest area of the City. Upon arrival on scene, firefighters entered and discovered a fire which was quickly brought under control. The fire originated and was contained to the kitchen, however there was extensive smoke damage to the remainder of the apartment. Crews remained on scene for approximately an hour to remove the smoke from the building. There are no injuries or estimates on damages at this time. Dauphin FD would like to remind the public to never leave cooking unattended and to always supervise youth while they are cooking. https://youtu.be/Dm6UMPP2z8I

We are seeing lots of photos on Facebook of the high water levels of ditches, creeks and rivers in the area. We would like to remind the public to stay away from these areas as the water is moving swiftly and banks may be undermined by erosion. Avoid driving through moving water as the water depth can be unpredictable and current can push vehicles off the road. Up-to-date flood information can be found at www.gov.mb.ca/flooding/ or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/MBGov.
