Permission to use open source data

I am working on a technical book teaching users how to analyse data using geographic information systems. I would like to use data from an open source data portal such as open source fire department data

My project would include redistributing the data with the book, analyzing the data in exercises for each book chapter and creating graphics and maps of the data.

Do I need to seek approval / permission to use this data in a book from the municipality? Is this open data fair to use? I am new to this topic so please feel free to offer suggestions on how to approach this issue.
