Toronto Fire Services is part of the Emergency Services that respond to 9-1-1 calls in the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is responsible for responding to fires, rescue and assisting with medical situations within the City.

After the Great Toronto Fire in 1904, which destroyed much of Bay Street from Eplande West to Melinda Street, the Fire Department in Toronto became a critical city service and has evolved into the professional service that exists today.
