Toronto Pearson Fire & Emergency Services

==Area Served==
Lester B. Pearson International Airport (IATA callsign: YYZ) also known as Toronto Pearson, located in north east Mississauga, Ontario, serves the Greater Toronto Area. Fire and rescue services are provided by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, which operates the facility. Pearson is the largest and busiest airport in Canada.
==History==
Malton Airport was opened in 1939 as one of two airports serving Toronto. It was located in what was then Toronto Township near the community of Malton. During the Second World War, the airfield was used as a training facility as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Malton was also the wartime site of the Victory Aircraft Company, which built Westland Lysander army co-operation aircraft and Avro Lancaster heavy bombers. After the war, Victory was sold to A. V. Roe Company (known as Avro Canada), which manufactured the CF-100 Canuck fighter, C-102 Jetliner and the cancelled CF-105 Arrow interceptor. After the Arrow's cancellation in 1959, Avro ceased operations. The company's fire service transferred to the Canadian government's Department of Transport, which had purchased the airport in 1958. The airport was renamed Toronto International Airport after the takeover. It was renamed Lester B. Pearson International Airport in 1984, after the 14th Prime Minister of Canada.
As part of a nationwide initiative to divest itself of larger airports, the Department of Transport (Transport Canada) transferred management, operation, and control of Pearson to the newly-formed Greater Toronto Airports Authority in 1996. The authority has built up firefighting operations significantly since the takeover, increasing personnel and expanding from a single station to three.
===Unions===
The airport's firefighters organized in 1959 and became International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Local F0082. In 1966, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) was established and, as federal government employees, members of the fire service were mandated to join the new union. After the GTAA was established, the membership spent a few years with the Canadian Labour Congress before rejoining the IAFF as IAFF as Local 4382. The Pearson Airport Professional Fire Fighters Association are also members of the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association (OPFFA).
