Explain the flow of the seminar
The basis for the fire service in Ontario lies in the legislation.
The two primary pieces of legislation impacting the fire service are the FPPA and the Municipal Act
Other legislation that impacts on the fire service will also be referenced.
Legislation identifies who is responsible for fire protection services, and what they are responsible for.
As a result Municipal Decision Makers establish and define their service through the E&R bylaw.
The Chief acts under their direction.
Other bylaws that impact on fire protection services are referenced in the seminar.
For the purpose of this seminar, core services are divided between those that will meet clauses 2.1.a and 2.1.b of the FPPA.
These will be described in detail in the seminar.
Each of the core services delivered by your fire department need to be reviewed in terms of risk management, governance and what is required to conduct the service safely, efficiently and effectively.
OFM has many resources, described throughout the seminar to support the fire service in meeting its obligations and responsibilities.

4. 3 LINES OF DEFENCE IMPORTANT POINTS:
The OFM provides advice and assistance to both chiefs and municipal officials.
The expectations is that communication flows between the OFM, Municipalities, Fire Service. It is a continuum, meaning that no one party should be working in isolation.
All communication is based on the goal of ensuring the 3 lines of defence are addressed and that safe, effective and efficient services are delivered.
This chart illustrates that relationship.
The OFM has several sections that support this relationship and communicate with municipalities and the fire service.
These services are listed in Appendix A, starting on page 51 of the guidebook.
They are also discussed in relevant sections of this seminar.
