St. John's Regional Fire Department (Newfoundland & Labrador)

Not to be confused with the Saint John Fire Department in New Brunswick. 
==Overview==
The St. John's Regional Fire Department provides fire and rescue protection for the cities of St. John's and Mount Pearl, as well as the towns of Goulds and Paradise. The municipalities of Logy Bay, Middle Cove and Outer Cove are now also under SJRFD jurisdiction.
Operational services are provided from seven fire stations, six of which are staffed by paid full-time firefighters 24 hours per day, and one fire station (Gould’s) operated by paid full-time firefighters eight hours per day (Monday to Friday) and volunteers for evenings and weekends.
==History==
The Town of Goulds was amalgamated with St. John's in 1991. It was served previously by the Goulds Fire Department. The City of Mount Pearl disbanded the Mount Pearl Fire Department and contracted with St. John's later in the 1990s. The Town of Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove opted to contract with St. John's in 2013, disbanding the Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove Fire Department.
