CFB Penhold Fire Department

==History==
Royal Canadian Air Force Station Penhold was opened in 1940 and handed over to the Royal Air Force the following year. The RAF operated No. 36 Service Flying Training School under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan until 1944 after which it was returned to the RCAF. The airfield reopened in 1952 as a flying training school, operating in that capacity until 1965. RCAF Penhold became Canadian Forces Base Penhold upon the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968 and was home to the Air Defence Command school, a radar station (located approximately 20 km away), cadet training facilities and the provincial emergency headquarters bunker for the Province of Alberta. The radar station was closed in 1986 and the remainder of the base decommissioned in 1994.
The CFB Penhold Fire Department provided crash, fire and rescue services to the base and Married Quarter areas.
