Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service Calls for Service 

Dec 8, 2021

Every year I request an update on what type of calls the Winnipeg Fire Paramedics Station 22 (1567 Waverley St.) and Station 23 (880 Dalhousie on Pembina) respond to. These two stations predominately serve south and southwest Winnipeg – and service the Waverley West ward. These stations also respond to calls on the Perimeter Highway.

Of the 4,617 calls made in 2020, 2.5% were fire related. The remaining calls are identified below.
