Toronto City Council appoints new Fire Chief
Toronto City Council has unanimously approved the appointment of Jim Jessop as Fire Chief and General Manager, Toronto Fire Services (TFS), effective Thursday, January 2, 2025, reporting to the Deputy City Manager, Community and Social Services.
As Fire Chief and General Manager, Jessop will oversee all aspects of TFS, the largest fire service in Canada, and uphold its mission to protect life, property and the environment through education, prevention and emergency response.
With nearly 30 years of progressive experience in firefighting, emergency response and fire safety management, Jessop currently serves as Deputy Fire Chief and Director, Operations, Training and Technical Operations with TFS.

Jessop began his career at the City in 1996 as a Firefighter, departing in 2001. Before rejoining the City in 2015, Jessop worked for the Government of Ontario as Assistant Deputy Minister – Fire Marshal and Chief, Emergency Management of Ontario. Jessop also held leadership roles with the City of Niagara Falls and the City of London. He holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Kinesiology and a Masters of Public Administration (MPA) from the University of Western Ontario, and a Masters Business Administration (MBA) from Brock University.
