In 2001, the original City of Hamilton was amalgamated with the other municipalities in Hamilton-Wentworth Region, merging HFD with five additional fire departments. These were: * Ancaster Fire Department * Dundas Fire Department * Flamborough Fire Department * Glanbrook Township Fire Department * Stoney Creek Fire Department The newly amalgamated department was named Hamilton Emergency Services (Fire), but reverted to its original name in 2012.
