Message from the Chief Beaven
I consider it an honour and privilege to serve as the 12th Fire Chief for the Town of Cobourg. The fire service has a long tradition of serving their communities and CFD is no different, we provide suppression, ice/water rescue, auto extrication, fire prevention, and public education services to ensure the safety of all citizens and visitors to the Town of Cobourg.
Every day, the members of the Cobourg Fire Department bravely protect life and property in the Town of Cobourg when we respond to fires, water rescues, motor vehicles collisions, and any natural or man made disaster.
The Cobourg Fire Department doesn’t just respond to emergencies, we prevent them, too. We provide a proactive fire prevention division that ensures all citizens follow the Ontario fire code and fire protection and prevention act. With the mindset of education, we have a robust public education program that instructs students, parents, homeowners, and business owners to always practice fire safety.
The Cobourg Fire Department is here to serve the citizens and visitors to our community.
