Our thoughts are with our brothers and sisters @RMESFire. We are here for you.

Due to improving conditions, but still with a fire risk in place, Rocky View County has downgraded the full Fire Ban, to now a Fire Advisory, effective 8AM September 20. See image for details.

Due to current fire risk and weather forecast, as of 8:00 AM Sept 1, Rocky View County Fire Services has declared a full Fire Ban. Please exercise caution while in the fields, and thank you to all farmers who have helped with some of our local fires over that past couple of days

Always a pleasure working with our mutual aid partners @154firechief @Crossfield_FD @beiseker_fire Thank you team for coming to our aid. Also, thank you to the neighboring farmers for helping stop the fire before it got worse. #alwaysonduty #fireadvisory

Another night of pump/nozzle training. #alwaystraining #alwayslearning

One crew training on hydrant, pump and nozzle work while another is in the training room working on medical certifications. #alwayslearning #alwaystraining

Incident number 3 due to roads. Use caution on the roads. Highway 9 and approximately range road 270/Township Road 264. Roads are a skating rink. Thank you Volker for sanding 3 times while we were on scene, we needed it.

Crews are back in station after two separate MVCs on highway 567. Use extreme caution while driving. Plows have been out, and are still out, but winds are blowing snow hard, making it look like the road is untouched.

Great way to spend a Sunday morning. Hall cleaned and tidy, so now we practice 1001 skills in SCBA to ensure our recruits are ready for the next practical day. #alwaystraining #alwayslearning #eachoneteachone #firegroundsurvival

Crews just returned from our 2nd grassfire of the day. Way to dry out today. Always a pleasure working with our partners @154firechief @Crossfield_FD thanks for coming out.
