This weekend, members of Foothills Fire Department took on the Wellspring Firefighter Stairclimb at Brookfield Place, pushing themselves to the top in support of a great cause.

Congratulations to Dylan Alaric, Matt McMullen, Byron Charbonneau, and Jesse Seddon for successfully completing the climb and representing our department with determination and pride.

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, friends, family, and donors, our team raised an amazing $4,791 for Wellspring Canada. Your generosity will help provide vital programs and support for individuals and families living with cancer.

We are grateful for everyone who donated, shared our fundraiser, and encouraged our team along the way. This achievement would not have been possible without your support.

Thank you, Foothills County, for helping us make a difference!

No matter how many years are on the job, we stay ready.

Our crew today was working through our CPAT (Candidate Physical Ability Test) course used for new recruits, tackling the same physical challenges and high-intensity stations expected in the fire service.

From stair climbs to victim rescues, this training keeps our members prepared to put in the work, when our community needs us most.

The job doesn’t get easier, so neither does the training. 💪🔥

The Foothills Fire Department would like to congratulate Captain Craig Stewart on his promotion to Battalion Chief!❤️‍🔥🫡

Chief Stewart began his fire service career as a volunteer firefighter in Okotoks in 2006. In 2010, he became an EMT/Primary Care Paramedic before joining Foothills Fire Department full-time as a Senior Firefighter in 2012. He was promoted to Captain in 2017 and has continued to be a highly respected and positive member of our team ever since.

Outside of the fire hall, Craig enjoys kayaking and spending time outdoors with family and friends.

Craig’s experience, professionalism, and positive attitude make him an outstanding fit for this role, and we couldn’t be happier to see him take on the position of Battalion Chief.

Please join us in congratulating Battalion Chief Stewart on this well-deserved promotion!🔥🚒
