List of historic Toronto fire stations

Historic Toronto fire stations are primarily in the downtown core and with the former Toronto Fire Department.

Fire stations built from the late 19th century and up to 1950s varied in style. Fire halls built from the 1950s to 1980s tended to be utilitarian in design and found in the suburbs (North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke). The latest fire stations are modern, but they often lack the character of older fire stations in the city.

Most fire halls built after the 1940s are demolished when they are retired and rarely re-used.

Located just off Yonge Street, south of St. Clair Avenue, Balmoral Fire Hall was built in an era when horses pulled hose wagons through its double doors. Still visible along the east wall is a second-storey projecting beam and doorway where hay was hoisted into a loft for feed. In the rear, a tower capable of drying 50-foot hoses still stands. The building was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1990, for its rare adoption of the Queen Anne style. The status entitles it to a federal plaque, but, as of 2011, none has been erected.

Both Stations 312 and 315 are examples of Victorian Gothic architecture.
