Community Fire Safety Programs
Fires can happen anywhere. Knowing how to prevent and escape from a fire is important.
Call 9-1-1 immediately is there is an emergency and you need help.
Having a working smoke alarm on every floor of your home, and knowing two ways out of every bedroom is important.
We encourage everyone to take time and consider fire safety in their home.
View our home safety checklist or our rental unit safety checklist for more information.

Community programs

We can check and replace your smoke alarms, batteries, discuss your fire safety plan, and help you look for hazards that may exist in your home. |
After the fire |
|
Firefighters go door-to-door and speak with residents after a fire in the neighbourhood. We answer questions, offer to check smoke alarms and perform a fire safety check. |
Juvenile fire-setter |

Playing with fire, matches and lighters is dangerous. We work with children and teens, teaching them how they can prevent fires. |
Car seat installations |

Car seat education clinics are provided by Alberta Health Services. These clinics are offered by appointment only. For more information, call 403.502.8249 or email HealthPromotion.South@ahs.ca. |
Inspections
Businesses and public buildings are inspected under our quality management plan. Inspections identify issues which may contribute to the start and spread of smoke and fire.
Fire inspectors review and examine building plans, perform site inspections and consult with builders to ensure buildings to municipal servicing standards.
Investigations
Every fire or explosion which results in property damage, injury, death, and arson are investigated. An investigation begins once a fire is under control.
