Historic and architectural walk featuring three halls still standing and many more sites significant in Toronto fire history. I wrote a paper on the history and architecture of fire halls in Toronto. This is a walk close to my heart.

Stops include:
* Site of 1st and 2nd Parliament Buildings that burned down
* Berkeley Street Firehall
* Firehall #333 (formerly #5)
* Site where Great Fire of 1849 started
* Lombard Street Firehall
* Site of York's first fire hall
* Court House Square
* Site of Bay Street Firehall
* Site where Great Fire of 1904 started
