On behalf of our members, welcome to the Rosthern Fire Department web page. We hope you find the information useful and informative. If any of your questions regarding fire and life safety are not answered, please feel free to contact us. Stop by again and check out the site as we hope to add to it occasionally.

Rosthern Fire Department is the product of the co-operation of the Town of Rosthern and the Rural Municipality of Rosthern (403) to provide its citizens with emergency services. To this end, each entity has provided Rosthern Fire Department with an apparatus and equipment.

Currently, we have 13 members that comprise the Fire Department and/or the Rescue (Extrication) Squad. We are dispatched through Prince Albert Emergency Communication Center, which handles 911 calls. Regular meetings for the Fire Department are held on the first and third Wednesday of the month.

The Rescue Squad holds its meetings the second Wednesday of the month.

When we are not out on active calls, Rosthern Fire Department participates in educational and community events.

Educational programs available are:
Stop! Drop! And Roll!
Exit Drills In The Home (EDITH program)
Fire Extinguisher Training for individuals and businesses
Senior Safety
How to call 911 in an emergency
Smoke Alarms save Lives!

Rosthern Fire Department often addresses seasonal issues through the local newspaper.

Both the Fire and Rescue members annually attend the Demolition Derby, and participate in the Town and Country Fair Parade, contributing their time and expertise to community events.

Rosthern Fire Department and Rescue Squad encourage citizens to join their team. An application form is available through the website or the Town of Rosthern upon request.

Requests for information are handled by the Town of Rosthern. Also Deputy Chief Darcy Hrycuik or Deputy Chief Trevor Zacharias may be contacted.
