Fire & Life Safety
Brian Scott
Division Chief
Our Division of Fire/Life Safety Education is our link to the public for administration and delivery of many various educational and intervention programs. The division is located at 225 Central Park Drive in Brampton. The division consists of Division Chief, Brian Scott, Assistant Division Chief Debbie Campbell and Education Officers Tina Hickey and Michelle John.
This division was first started in 1988 and was called the Community Relations division. It was obvious, even then, that our division of Fire Prevention was becoming overwhelmed with the responsibility of public education issues, and that a more specialized division was required to meet the needs of this very important segment of our department's mandate to provide public education. The fact that this issue was given the highest priority in recent provincial legislation shows, once again, that the Brampton Fire and Emergency Services are leaders in the area of public service, and visionary in our anticipation of the needs of the citizens of Brampton.
