Hamilton Fire Department (Ontario)

''This article refers to the city in Ontario's Golden Horseshoe. For other places named Hamilton, see Hamilton Fire Department.''

History
Hamilton Emergency Services - Fire (HES-Fire) was created in 2001 through the amalgamation of the original City of Hamilton, the City of Stoney Creek, the Town of Ancaster, the Town of Dundas, the Town of Flamborough and Township of Glanbrook.

As of November 6, 2012, Hamilton Emergency Services - Fire (HES - Fire) changed it's name to the "Hamilton Fire Department". Vehicles will be re-logoed in the new year. All new uniforms will come with only Hamilton Fire crests on them. There will be a program to re-crest old uniforms and replace old HES - Fire badges.

Apparatus roster
The six-digit numbers following the unit designation are a historic number that indicates what pre-amalgamation town or city originally purchased the apparatus, as indicated by the first three digits. Numbers starting with 300 refer to the original City of Hamilton, 310 to Stoney Creek, 320 Ancaster, 330 Dundas, 340 Flamborough and 350 Glanbrook. The three remaining numbers are department ID numbers.
