Outland Fire Crew

Fire Fighters who possess other employment make arrangements with their current employer so that if the call comes, their employers can make required staffing adjustments.

Once Outland receives a call for Fire Fighters, all requested personnel must be at the required location usually within 24 hours. Mobilization locations are typically FMH or Fire Basecamps. Depending on where the fire is, this location could be anywhere in Northern Ontario.

All Outland Fire Fighters will muster at various locations (which will be announced once the mobilization plan is developed). At these central locations, Outland will transport all Crews to the designated Fire Management Centre.
