Downtown Fires Are Never Simple
Just before 5 a.m., crews responded to a fire at Salt and Brick in the Beltline. Older buildings and shared walls mean fire can hide in crawl spaces and voids.
This is the work your Calgary firefighters do every day.

Real lessons. Real relevance for Calgary.
Is single egress worth the cost savings? One stair means one way out. When smoke fills that space, there is no backup for residents or firefighters. Calgary can build housing and still build safely.
The question is what level of risk we accept.

As budget week begins, your Calgary firefighters ask council to responsibly invest in the public safety Calgarians rely on.
When someone smells smoke at night or a senior needs help fast, response time is everything. Public safety is the return on investment Calgarians expect.

Calgary’s youth heroes showed true courage when it mattered most.
Omya and Shivansh calmly guided firefighters to their mother during a medical emergency, while 12-year-old Saul called 911, kept bystanders safe, and helped crews save a life from a smoke-filled home.

When your Calgary firefighters respond to a natural gas or industrial fire, it might seem strange we don’t put the flames out. Burning gas can be contained, but if it goes out while gas leaks, it becomes invisible and explosive.
