Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services (MFES) provides fire protection, technical rescue services, hazardous materials response, and emergency medical assistance as a first responder to the city of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
The Fire Service was established in 1968 and formed from local departments (Cooksville, Lakeview, Malton, Meadowvale) that existed prior to the creation of Mississauga, Ontario. The Port Credit Fire Department and Streetsville Fire Departments were added upon the amalgamation of those communities with Mississauga in 1974. MFES was mainly made up of the Toronto Township Volunteer Fire Department, itself created from volunteer units in the 1870s. By 1975, Mississauga's fire service was a full-time service.
Mississauga Fire co-ordinates with Toronto Fire Services, Brampton Fire and Emergency Services, and Peel Regional Paramedic Services for additional help and practicing emergency disaster exercises. In 2017, MFES responded to over 34,000 emergency calls.
Operations Fire stations and apparatus Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon underwent a region-wide renumbering of stations and apparatus in the 1990s. Each station is assigned a 3 digit number and each apparatus is given an alpha-numeric callsign corresponding with the station number. The alphabetic prefix identifies the type of apparatus, the first numerical digit identifies the municipality, and the remaining two numerical digits identify the station. The municipality identifiers are '1' for Mississauga, '2' for Brampton, and '3' for Caledon.
For example, Station 101 would be Mississauga's no. 1 station and P101 would be a pumper assigned to it, and so on. Spare apparatus (for Mississauga and Brampton) would be numbered with a 5 as the second numerical digit in the number (P150, S151, A152, etc.). In January 2020, as part of an apparatus redeployment plan, a second Pumper Company was organized and assigned to Station 101. Since the department had not previously run two Pumper Companies out of the same station, a numbering system for duplicate companies had not been utilized. To distinguish the second pumper from P101, it was given the callsign P131.
In December 2023, MFES took delivery of two heavy rescue vehicles to replace two frontline squad vehicles.
In December 2024, MFES took delivery of its first electric pumper apparatus.
As of June 2026, MFES currently operates 23 active fire stations and the following apparatus:
