Yield to flashing green lights
The Haldimand County Fire Department is a volunteer firefighter service. This means firefighters often respond to emergencies in their personal vehicles. Instead of the large lights and sirens like a normal fire truck, volunteer firefighter vehicles are equipped with Flashing Green Lights.
A Flashing Green Light on a vehicle is a sign of a volunteer firefighter responding to an emergency. They may be en route to the fire hall or to the emergency. The Flashing Green Light is used only as an identifier to the drivers of other vehicles so that they may give up their right-of-way and allow the firefighter to get to the emergency unimpeded.
If you see a Flashing Green Light, please pull over - every second counts in an emergency.
Superior tanker shuttle accreditation
Haldimand County Emergency Services has been accredited with the Superior Tanker Shuttle Service for residential properties. This accreditation provides hydrant-protected gradings in specified fire protection areas that are not hydrant-protected. All of the Haldimand County Fire Stations have reached accreditation.

Annual reports
The Emergency Services division is pleased to present its Annual Reports and Statistics. These reports are designed to provide Council, staff and members of the public with information on the activities of the Emergency Services division, including statistics, training highlights, community activities and response highlights. These reports also provide insight into the many achievements the division made in each year.
2023 was a productive year for Emergency Services. High level accomplishments included:
- ongoing construction of the Caledonia Fire/Paramedic station
- new fire tankers added to our fleet
- continued success of the Community Paramedic Program with a high number of clients as well as increased skillsets for our medics.
- new ambulance added to our fleet
- ongoing certification of our volunteer fire fighters
- new technological advancements included in stretchers, cardiac monitors and assisted CPR devices.
Overall, increases in both fire (1166 incidents) and paramedic services (13870 incidents) were evident.
Structure fires showed a decrease as Haldimand County has taken a zero tolerance approach for non-working smoke alarms found in residential homes. Prevention and education have been reinforced throughout 2023 and have been shown to be key components in reducing the frequency and severity of fire incidents.
The 2023 report is now available through request. To request this annual report or previous ones, email website@haldimandcounty.ca
