Rocky View County Fire Services

Department Profile

Rocky View County Fire Services (RVCFS) is a combination career and paid-on-call/volunteer fire department. It has three volunteer/paid-per-call stations and four career stations. Rocky View County Fire Services has approximately 300 fire personnel serving the county. There are also five other municipal fire departments inside Rocky View County, some combination career/paid-on-call/volunteer and some wholly volunteer departments, four of which provide coverage to Rocky View 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 Rocky View County, but operates completely separately and has no association with Rocky View. maxi 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.

History

Fire Stations

The fire stations in Rocky View County and the surrounding areas were originally numbered between 50 and 99 when the stations began receiving dispatch services from Calgary Fire Department in 1996. These numbers continued when the stations/departments transitioned to being dispatched by the separate entity Calgary 9-1-1 in 2006. As Calgary Fire Department continued to expand, it became necessary for CFD to reclaim the station numbers for future expansion, and the stations in the area were assigned new numbers as a result. Their historical station numbers are listed below the current numbers.

Station	Address	In Service	Notes
