How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Decide who the thank-you is for

    For a general thank-you to the whole service, send it to Ottawa Fire's administration office (below) — they pass community mail along to crews. If a specific crew helped you and you know which fire hall they came from, address it to that station instead, because firefighters work rotating shifts and won't all be at headquarters.

  2. 2

    Address it to the department

    First line: Ottawa Fire Services. Second line: Fire Services Headquarters. Then the address: 1445 Carling Avenue, Ottawa ON K1Z 7L9. To single out the crew that responded, add "Attn: the crew at Station __" under the department name.

  3. 3

    Keep it a card or letter

    A card, a letter, or a class of kids' drawings are perfect and easy to hand around a station. Add your return address if you'd like a reply. Don't send homemade food or baking — many fire services can't accept it for safety reasons — and skip cash or gifts; the words are what matter.

  4. 4

    Send it without a trip to the post office

    Write or upload your thank-you to PostPal with the address above prefilled. We print it, add your return address, and mail it for you — no printer, stamps, or post office run. It's an easy way to reach Ottawa Fire from anywhere.
