Thank you for your interest in learning more about fire and life safety! All prearranged fire station tours and event requests are scheduled through the CRFRS Public Events Committee (PEC). The PEC is comprised of Paid-on Call (POC) Firefighters from each of our five stations.

We value the opportunity to provide a better understanding of what we do for our community. Public engagements provide members of the public an opportunity to meet the dedicated CRFRS firefighters, learn important fire and life safety information, tour the fire halls, firefighting equipment and apparatus.

Fire Codes are established to protect citizens in residential and public places. Fire codes apply to you, whether you are planning a special event, renovating a building, or hanging office decorations. CRFRS Safety Code Officers can assist you with fire safety planning and ensuring you comply with the National Fire Code (Alberta 2019 Edition).

CRFRS Fire investigators are available to assist with fire permit approvals, occupancy levels and compliance inspections to ensure the National Fire Code (Alberta Edition) requirements are met and adhered to. Our Safety Codes Officers work with local businesses and building owners/managers to ensure the safety of employees, customers and other members of the public.

Fire Safety Plan

The purpose of this document is to assist building owners and managers to prepare effective and useful Fire Safety Plans. Fire Safety Plans contain measures to:

• Control fire hazards in a building
• Ensure a safe and orderly evacuation of a building in case of fire
• Effective utilization of fire protection systems and equipment in buildings

Fire Safety Plans are prepared in the best interests of building owners and occupants and dependent upon the use and occupancy and any unique features. A building owner or agent has a responsibility to implement the provisions of a Fire Safety Plan and should include specific information on the building and its contents.

In 2022 Clearwater Regional Fire Rescue Services (CRFRS) celebrated the 100^th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week ^TM (FPW), October 9-15, 2022. 

The 2022 FPW campaign, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape ^TM”,  worked to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires.

Today’s homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning. 

The following resources are made available by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA®) for Fire Prevention Week, download yours today to keep your family.

For Fire Prevention Week, CRFRS hosted five events to educate the public about fire safety.
