White City Volunteer Fire Department

10/15/2026

It’s been another great week of training for the White City Fire Department!

Tuesday was all about trying new techniques and building confidence in our skills.

The fire service is constantly evolving. When new research and information become available, we have a responsibility to learn from it, adapt our techniques, and do everything we can to keep our firefighters safe.

From new ways of advancing hose lines, to confined space strategies, to getting more comfortable and confident with our new SCBA packs — we’re always looking for ways to work smarter, safer, and more effectively.

Wednesday was all about collaboration and prevention!

We joined Kronau Fire Department and Plains Midstream for an informative evening learning more about pipeline emergencies, the hazards involved, and how to safely and effectively manage these incidents.

A great reminder for everyone: Call or click before you dig! A little planning can prevent a very serious emergency.

A huge thank you to Kronau Fire and Plains Midstream for bringing everyone together and sharing their knowledge!

The goal isn’t just to become better firefighters. It’s to make sure everyone goes home at the end of the call.

Last night, we hosted our annual Open House!

We are so grateful to everyone who came out to spend the evening with us. Whether you stopped by for a visit, brought your family, volunteered your time, or helped make the event happen behind the scenes, THANK YOU!

It was a fantastic evening filled with fun, great conversations, familiar faces, and plenty of new ones. Events like this remind us just how lucky we are to be part of such an incredible community.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Open House such a success. We couldn’t do it without you!

We’ll see you again next year!

Last night, members of WCFD attended the Sentinel Gala to honour those in protective services who have lost their lives in the line of duty, or because of the physical and mental demands of the job.
It was an honour to be part of the unveiling of the Memorial and to spend the evening alongside members of the fire service, police, RCMP, EMS and military, as well as the friends and families of the fallen.
This memorial creates a lasting place to remember their lives, their service and their sacrifice.
A heartfelt thank you to the organizers and everyone who helped bring this important initiative to life. We will remember them.

🚒🚓 What a great day in the park!

Yesterday, we joined our friends at the White Butte RCMP for our First Responder Day in the Park, and it was such a fun day.

There were lots of laughs, great conversations, and of course, the dunk tank was once again a huge hit! It was awesome seeing so many people from our community come out to spend the day with us.

Even better, we were able to raise money for CISM and Victim Services, thanks to the incredible support and generosity of our community.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, donated, took a turn in the dunk tank, or just came out to say hello. Days like yesterday are a great reminder of what a fantastic community we get to be a part of.

Last night, the White City Fire Department and White Butte RCMP gathered for a BBQ and a great evening of connecting, catching up, and enjoying some time together outside of the calls and day-to-day work.

But the real heroes of the evening were our friends at Babco Meats Ltd., who generously donated the smokies and hot dogs for everyone to enjoy! 🌭

They were absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed every single bite. A huge THANK YOU to Babco for supporting our local first responders and helping make the evening extra special.

Introducing our WCFD Team Member Spotlight! 🚒

Our department is made up of an incredible group of people, each bringing their own strengths, experiences and dedication to the team. In this new series, we’ll be highlighting the members of WCFD and the significant roles they play in helping serve and protect our community.

First up, we’re excited to spotlight Ava!

Ava’s journey with WCFD began in 2024 when she took part in Camp Molly White City. Not long after, she joined our department and has been a valued member of the team ever since.

This year, Ava put her training to the test by competing alongside our team in the FireFit Competition, proudly representing WCFD!

When asked about her biggest strength as a firefighter, Ava said:

“I love being a teammate, supporting everyone, stepping up as a leader when I can be, but always staying open to learning.”

Her favourite part of the job? The family and community you build along the way.

Ava’s career is just getting started. She recently graduated as a Primary Care Paramedic and plans to continue pursuing her goal of becoming a career firefighter.

Thank you for everything you bring to the team, Ava. We’re proud to have you as part of the WCFD family! 🚒
