14-0! Today, Council unanimously voted to begin the process of standing up a Fire Services Committee.
This is a critical first step toward better serving Calgarians through a more effective and efficient governance model.
As Calgary rapidly grows toward two million people, our city needs a fire service that is prepared for today and built for the future. Calgary is a major metropolitan city, and it needs a fire department to match.
Thank you to Councillor Wyness for championing this important work, and to all Councillors for moving it forward.

The Fires You Don’t Hear About Until It’s Too Late

Yesterday, CTV News highlighted growing concerns from downtown Calgary business owners after a recent increase in dumpster, alley, and rubbish fires across the city core.

Most of these fires never make the news until they turn into a runaway building fire.

Every day, your Calgary firefighters respond to these incidents before they spread to nearby businesses, homes, and neighbouring buildings.

Calgary Firefighters Association President Jamie Blayney told CTV News:

“These fires can escalate very fast, often turning a small dumpster fire into a building fire, which puts people and our members at risk.”

“In all these instances, seconds matter. These fires grow exponentially, and we don’t want to see people get hurt.”

Your Calgary firefighters are there day and night protecting Calgary businesses and stopping these fires before they become tomorrow’s headline.
