History

Formerly the Ontario Fire & Life Safety Educators (OFLSE), a subcommittee of the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs (OAFC), we have pursued the modernization and increased profile of public education for over a decade. As OFLSE, our goal was to provide resources and a voice for fire department members charged with public education responsibilities. Working closely with OAFC and other stakeholders, OFLSE Committee members have generously donated their time and efforts to raise the profile of Public Education, establish integral working relationships and offer training/development opportunities across Ontario.
