After a devastating fire destroyed the back hall and 4 fire trucks last month, the Townsite of Redwood Meadows, AB purchased a new Tender using insurance funds. Join us tonight at 120 station at 7:45pm for the ‘push-in’ ceremony at the Maintenance shop for the new 120 Tender.

Welcome home 120 MRU (Medical Response Unit)! ✅Truck donated by @TCEnergy ✅Emergency lights donated by Range Mobility 120 MRU will be fully dedicated to medical responses next month once it’s fully stocked. Thanks to our amazing community, we will #rebuildrmes

Teamwork is everything in firefighting. Glad to work with Rockyview County fire services at an early morning structure fire today.

Duty crew was busy today re-organizing compartments in 120 Rescue. Trays are leveled out. Tools are mounted properly and oil and dirt cleaned out.

A tradition from the days of hand-pushing-horse-drawn apparatus after calls, push-in ceremonies celebrate new equipment, teamwork and community. RMES remains fully operational and responding to calls. We are so grateful for the community’s support. Together, we can #RebuildRMES

Every second counts when we respond to structure fires. Every firefighter has a role based on the seat they’re sitting in on the Engine: Driver/Pump Operator, Officer/Incident Commander, Nozzle, Equipment and Hydrant. Tuesday night training focused on drilling ‘Riding Roles’.

The Harvest Moon was watching over our members last night

Tuesday night training focused on practicing with our new @AMKUSrescue cutters, spreaders and ram supplied by Trans-Care Rescue Our current equipment is 32-years old and in need of replacement. Huge thanks to Redwood Meadows council for their support of this lifesaving equipment.

Our biggest fundraiser is this Saturday July 19 at our new location, across from the Bragg Creek Community Centre, in the parking lot by Korner Kitchen, 16 White Ave. See you there from 07:30!

Environment Canada has issued a tornado watch. This alert is in effect for Rocky View County near Bragg Creek and Tsuut'ina Nation. Severe thunderstorms are likely to develop along the Foothills this afternoon and evening and will move the southeast. These thunderstorms may be capable of producing a tornado in addition to damaging hail, heavy rain and strong wind gusts. Take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches. In the event of a tornado - Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet. Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or free-standing shelter, and move to a strong building if you can. As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris. This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation.
