The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC), in collaboration with the National Advisory Council (NAC), its Answer the Call committee and the Data committee, are excited to announce to launch the 2025 Great Canadian Fire Census!
Starting on May 12 and running until the extended deadline of July 24, 2025, we are asking you to provide us with your departmental data as at April 30, 2025 or the last 12 months reporting cycle. We’d like only 1 response per department.
How long will it take?
If this is the first time that you submit data into the Census, this will take you about 60 minutes, but will have an important impact on the sector. You can view here the impact the data had in 2024.
If you completed the Census in 2024, we are asking you to review your data to update items where needed and answer the new Census questions. It should take you about 30 minutes to complete.
If you completed the Census in 2023 but not in 2024. we are asking you to review your data to update items where needed and answer the new 2024 and 2025 Census questions. It should take you about 40 minutes to complete.
If you completed the Census in 2022 but not in 2023 and 2024, we would like you to review the data you submitted for any updates and answer the new questions from 2023, 2024 and 2025 Rapid Fire Questions. It should take you about 50 minutes to complete.
