Scope and content
The City of Thunder Bay was born on January 1, 1970 as a result of the amalgamation of two cities - Port Arthur and Fort William, and two townships - McIntyre and Neebing. The Thunder Bay Fire and Rescue Service (formerly known as Thunder Bay Fire Department, Thunder Bay Fire Service) was created at the same time. Currently, it operates from eight fire stations and responds to fires, explosions, auto extrications and hazardous material spills. It also specializes in rescues involving industrial accidents, rappelling, water/ice and confined space.
This series consists of fire investigation reports, vehicle fire reports, witness reports, casualty reports, investigation photos, correspondence from the Fire Marshals Office, insurance companies, courts, and other documents relating to investigations of fires that happened in the Thunder Bay area from 1980 to 2000.
Files from 1987 are missing.
