Welcome to the Ontario Municipal Fire Prevention Officers Association (OMFPOA).

Its a privilege to serve as President of this Association and to represent the dedicated fire prevention professionals who work every day to make Ontario’s communities safer.

We inspect buildings, review plans, educate the public, and enforce the Code with the goal of preventing emergencies before they happen. This means much of our work happens behind the scenes with our greatest successes measured by the incidents that never occur.

Across the province, fire prevention professionals continually share their knowledge, support one another, and work together to advance our profession. That spirit of collaboration is one of our greatest strengths.

As our communities grow and evolve, so do the challenges we face. The OMFPOA remains committed to supporting members through education, professional development, advocacy, and strong partnerships within the fire service and beyond.

Thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to public safety. I look forward to working alongside you as we continue to strengthen our profession and protect the communities we serve.

Stay safe


Don Casey
President
Ontario Municipal Fire Prevention Officers Association
