Various sections of the Manitoba Fire Code require that documentation is maintained for certain buildings by the owner or occupant in charge. The Fire Prevention Monthly Log forms below are samples of maintenance records that an owner or occupant in charge may use. You may save these as your own file and customize to your specific needs. All of this information is located on the Office of the Fire Commissioner Website.

Manitoba Association of Fire Chiefs Mentorship Program
We all remember what it was like when we first started as the Fire Chief in our Communities, how much we needed to learn and how it would have been nice to have someone to reach out to.
A new Fire Chief has these and so many other things to consider:
– Budgets
– Responsibilities as the Fire Chief to Citizens, Town / City Council
– Bylaws
– Procurement
– Running a scene
– Records Management
– Training Records
– The Human Resource side of dealing with difficult situations
– And so much more
That is why in 2023 the MAFC created the MAFC Mentorship Program so that experienced Fire Chiefs could provide much needed advice and mentoring to new Fire Chiefs across our province. The MAFC Mentorship Committee is looking for current and retired Chiefs who are willing to be a mentor. Once we have a list of available mentors we plan to send an information package through to the AMM to inform Communities across Manitoba of the MAFC’s mentorship assistance for new Fire Service Leaders.
Please consider putting your name forward to become a mentor. Click Here for the Application
Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation
(MAFC sponsors individuals to attend)
The Manitoba Fire Service served as the Honourary Host for the 2019 CFFF Memorial Ceremony in Ottawa and found that it was a very memorable and touching event. As well the MAFC sponsored 4 members of the Fire Service to the 2022 and 2023 Ceremony and the attendees were humbled by their experience. As a result, the MAFC will once again be offering 4 spots for Manitoba Fire Fighters to attend the 2024 Ceremony in Ottawa for 2 nights so attendees will have the chance to experience the entire weekend’s events giving them a full picture of the impact it has on the families, and everyone involved.

MAFC Annual CFFF Fundraiser
In 2019, the MB Fire Service hosted the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend event in Ottawa and sent a contingent to participate and assist families during the weekend. This became a very emotional and humble experience for all of those who were there. In 2020 the MAFC’s began an initiative to raise funds to support the CFFF Memorial Weekend in Ottawa by collecting $2.00/firefighter in Manitoba. The CFFF does not get financial support from the Government. The funds we raise will be allocated to hosting families of lost ones for the CFFF Memorial Weekend. The donation form is attached if your Manitoba Fire Department would like to participate. We ask that you make the cheque out to the MAFC as each December these funds are turned over to the CFFF. E-Transfer is also available, and that info is on the form. The deadline for participation is December 31 annually. If you require any additional information, please contact the MAFC Executive Director at mb.firechiefs@mymts.net
