Fire Department Update

We continue to negotiate with Rocky View County with the purpose of reuniting the Beiseker Fire Department with the Rocky View Fire Services.  There are a few hang-ups which must be addressed before such an agreement is signed.  Your Village Council is holding firm on these key issues;
  1. That most if not all of the BFD volunteers will continue to be a part of Station 55's new status.
  2. That the BFD serve this entire area (the North East corner of Rocky View County) - rural and urban.
  3. That the maintenance and replacement of fire fighting equipment be addressed as it is in other Rocky View stations.
  4. That Beiseker continue to maintain the existing fire hall.
Negotiations continue.  I'll keep you posted.
