Together, our members provide responsive, coordinated, and community-focused fire and rescue services across the region.
Who We Are
Heartland Regional Fire was created to bring all fire rescue services within the County of Stettler under a unified regional commission. This integrated model ensures that every station works together effectively, providing consistent, professional, and realistic fire services to our residents and ratepayers.
Our vision for the coming years is to strengthen each station’s capabilities while continuing to build a seamless regional response system.
This includes:
- Enhancing human resources, recruiting, and member retention
- Offering improved and community-focused training
- Upgrading physical assets, including apparatus and equipment
Our goal is simple: ensure every station has the right people, training, and tools to keep our communities safe.
Planning for the Future
Heartland Regional Fire is actively engaged in long-term planning to support the safety, resilience, and operational strength of our fire service.
