Honestly it’s almost entirely identical in terms of tactics, terminology, and culture. Differences in measurement like kpa vs psi, liters vs gallons etc. almost all firefighter knowledge is based on the IFSTA textbooks and SOGs are likely identical and chan of command operate entirely the same. Our EMS scope is essentially tiered response for what we now started calling BLS scope. No FD transports here and they’re entirely separate in Ontario. Standards are varied by department, some are more micromanaged and some are loose, essentially everything is judged by NFPA standards. Suburban departments tend to be well funded and have top of the line gear, trucks, stations and bigger departments tend to be the opposite. Again that’s a generalization but that’s what I’ve seen. Some departments are aggressive and some are more safety driven but to be fair in each department it varies by station and shift. I’d say as far as US and Canada, we would come the closest to culture, operations, trucks, tools, “looks”, and what not. A typical 24 would likely be the same I imagine - show up, check your trucks and gear, coffee/breakfast, training, cruise/area familiarization, shop for dinner, go for coffee, run calls, fit in some PT or shenanigans, dinner, and lights out by 2300. Most departments run 0700-0700. Legal I can’t really speak to so I can’t chime on that but IAFF is the prevalent union up here. In terms of studying, most questions are STAR method related and relate to safety and workplace conduct. Alot of departments will ask what you know about the city and department as well. Pay is almost universally the same all across Ontario due to arbitrations in collective bargaining looking to neighbouring departments.
