History fills our human need for tales about our community and about the things that we have done. Understanding the service of today involves accurately recalling history. History can offer potential solutions to current problems and help guide and direct us when solving them.
History is every bit as fantastic and as exciting as a novel.
Join us in preserving our history and telling the stories of the London Fire Department.

Vacant Building Fire
For the second time in a little more than a month, fire broke out at an abandoned building on Dundas Street in London. After receiving multiple 911 calls, London fire crews were dispatched to 737 Dundas St. Crews attacked the fire from the outside including use of an aerial truck. No injuries are reported, and London Hydro attended the scene to assist. Back on Sept. 5, a fire at the same property led to an arson investigation. Investigators say they are treating Wednesday's fire as suspicious.
