The Service des incendies de Pointe-Claire ceased to exist in 2002 with the amalgamation of the city of Pointe-Claire with the City of Montréal. The department was one of the first fire departments on the Island of Montreal to respond to calls for emergency medical services, beginning in 1976. Beginning sometime in the 1970s, the department began serving Kirkland and Beaconsfield under contract. This arrangement lasted until the department's takeover by the Service de Sécurité Incendie Montréal.

abstract	The Service des incendies de Pointe-Claire ceased to exist in 2002 with the amalgamation of the city of Pointe-Claire with the City of Montréal. The department was one of the first fire departments on the Island of Montreal to respond to calls for emergency medical services, beginning in 1976. Beginning sometime in the 1970s, the department began serving Kirkland and Beaconsfield under contract. This arrangement lasted until the department's takeover by the Service de Sécurité Incendie Montréal. In the 1980s, the station on Boul St Jean was Station 1, the station on Beaurepaire Dr in Beaconsfield was Station 2, and the converted gas station on Boul St Charles in Kirkland was Station 3. These digits, initially, were the first digit in the unit number. Chiefs and the prevention truck had a 1 as the second digit, Rescues had 2 in the second spot, Pumpers had 3, Ladders had 5. The third was sequential starting at 1 for the first unit of that type. This was changed c.1990 so that all units started with 1 with the station in the second position. 231 and 331, the pumps in Beaconsfield and Kirkland respectively, became 132 and 133. When the department "joined" Urgences-Santé in 1982 or so, it was given numbers for their units that responded on EMS runs. At that time, the numbers were similar to the SPCUM car numbers with Pointe Claire being 88-12 (actually assigned to 121). At first, each of the responding pumpers were given numbers as well, so 131 in Station 1 was 88-13, 231 in Station 2 was 88-14, and 331 in Station 3 was 88-15. Since it was up to the FD which company to send and not US, only 88-12 was ever used routinely. When US simplified their numbering in 1983, the entire department was designated 810.
