On #NationalPeacekeepersDay, your Calgary firefighters honour those who served—abroad and at home. Sgt. Stu Shier, awarded the Commander’s Commendation for bravery in Afghanistan, now serves Calgary with the same courage and heart. We salute all who protect and serve.

#ThrowbackThursday.Before SCBAs (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus), your Calgary firefighters were true “smoke eaters.” This shot from the 1959 Hudson’s Bay incinerator fire shows what the job looked like—gritty, dangerous, and done with heart.

🚨Firehall 3 in Inglewood has been delayed since 2009. Station 1 runs 14K+ calls/year, stretching coverage dangerously thin. Bureaucracy is burying essential fire services. The land is ready. The need is urgent. Let’s build now. 🔗 . #YYC #Firehall3

“Every shift is an apprenticeship.”.After 3 months of training, the freshest Calgary firefighters hit the floor for 18 months of real calls, real pressure, and real learning. This isn’t just a job, it’s a career with purpose. The fire doesn’t care how new you are. #YYCfire

We’re on the front page of the Calgary Herald today, talking about what it takes to keep Calgarians safe. As Cllr. Jasmine Mian said, continued investment is essential, and more will be needed with the next council. #AreWeReady #yyccc #Calgary #PublicSafety
