Rocky View County Fire Services

Rocky View Fire Services (RVFS) is a combination career and paid-on-call/volunteer fire department. It has three volunteer stations and five career/paid-on-call stations. Rocky View County Fire Services has approximately 300 fire personnel serving the county. There are also five other municipal fire departments inside Rockyview County, some combination career/paid-on-call/volunteer and some wholly volunteer departments, four of which provide coverage to Rockyview County by contract agreement. Those departments are Redwood Meadows Emergency Services, Cochrane Fire Services, Crossfield Volunteer Fire Department, and Beiseker Fire Department. The Airdrie Fire Department is surrounded by Rockyview County, but operates completely separate and have no association with Rockyview.

In 2012, the Town of Chestermere returned to an independent fire department within the county of Rockyview, similar to the operations in Cochrane, Crossfield, and Redwood Meadows. The separate entity is known as Chestermere Fire Services.

RVFS and the other departments in Rocky View County are all dispatched by Calgary Public Safety Communications, and thus are in the Calgary partnership's station numbering system.
