History[]
The Town of Elmira was amalgamated with Woolwich Township as part of municipal restructuring in 1973, making the Elmira Fire Department and the Maryhill station of the Waterloo Township Fire Department part of the fire service.
Woolwich was divided into five separate fire areas (Elmira, St. Jacobs, Maryhill, Conestogo and Floradale), each with its own Chief, until a department-wide chief was hired in the 2000s.
