Cold Lake Fire Rescue

==Department Profile==
The Cold Lake Fire-Rescue Service was created via bylaw in 1998 by amalgamation of the former Towns of Grand Centre, Cherry Grove and Cold Lake fire departments.
Cold Lake Fire-Rescue serves both the City of Cold Lake, a large portion of the Municipal District of Bonnyville and the Cold Lake First Nation, with occasional responses into Saskatchewan.
Cold Lake Fire-Rescue has 3 full-time personnel and 50 paid on-call firefighters. The service operates two fire stations, the Lake District and the Downtown District.
The service operates 10 pieces of emergency apparatus. This includes 8 Pumpers, 1 Medium Rescue, 1 Aerial, 1 Tanker, 1 Dangerous Goods/Rescue trailer, 1 Duty Officer’s/Rapid Response vehicle, and 1 staff vehicle.
===Firefighters and Staff===
All firefighters are comprehensively trained in fire and rescue techniques through in-house and extension course delivery and weekly skills maintenance training. Professional certification is achieved through the Alberta Emergency Management Agency.
The Cold Lake Fire-Rescue Service is a community based organization that promotes and supports its local community and the various groups within it.
===Response===
As with most paid on call fire services, CLFR employs a notification system. The department's 911 Call Answer provider is outside of the city limits. Calls are received and processed there and fire resources are dispatched accordingly.
Members are notified via audible pagers on a 24/7 basis.
Each station is equipped for response to many types of incidents, ranging from structure and wildland fires, motor vehicle collisions, ice rescue, farm accidents, or medical assists.
The number of units responding is determined by the dispatch information and the type, severity, and location of the incident.
The service covers approximately 1000 square kilometres and responds to approximately 200 incidents annually.
