IN CASE OF EMERGENCY CALL 911

Join the Department

The Hedley Fire Department was established in 1912 and is staffed by a dedicated team of local men and women. The department has a 2010 Pierce Pumper, a 1973 Pierreville Pumper and a Responder/Command Unit Van.

Joining our department is a good way to obtain training, build a resume, make a little money and contribute to the community.  Programs available to our members include first aid certificates, First Responder certification, Driver/Pump Operator training and Basic Firefighter training. There are also opportunities to attend other types of training programs such as Strategies & Tactics, Incident Safety and Car Fire Tactics, to name but a few.

If you are interested in joining the Hedley Fire Department, come on out to a practice to meet us and see what we do. Practices are held each Tuesday evening from 6:30 to 9:00 at the Fire Hall next to the HID office. The HID is in need of more Volunteers and First Responders.
