Fire & Emergency Services

The role of Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services (CF&ES) is to deliver safe, efficient, and effective fire and emergency response to our community. This requires a dedicated commitment to understanding and preparing for each of the risks that are present in our community. Safety requires a focus on education, training and planning that is grounded in a model of public service keeping safety as a prerequisite to response.

Over the course of 2022, the Fire Department experienced a higher-than-expected demand for service. In addition, inflation and supply chain issues throughout the industry put pressure on our departmental processes and finances. With a lens pointed at 2023 and beyond, the Department is focused firmly on developing strategies that will enable us to deliver effective emergency response services to our community in a safe and efficient manner. We recognize the communities risk profile has changed and to remain robust, so must we. Every member of our team is working hard to keep their knowledge and skills current and proficient, to best serve our growing and changing community. We look forward to the challenges ahead of us, and we are thankful for the honour of serving our community.
