Fire & Emergency
Emergency Services
The Fire Department offers fire suppression services and more. We also provide fire safety inspections, emergency preparedness training, and community outreach.
History of SFD
Saskatoon was founded as a Temperance Colony in 1882. As Saskatoon grew through the first three decades it went from reservoirs, buckets and horses to its first piece of motorized apparatus in a unionized professional department in 1909.
Emergency Preparedness
Should an emergency situation arise in our city, be it severe weather, a dangerous goods spill, a pandemic, or an airline crash, a range of agencies must pull together to provide a coordinated response.
New Fire Station: Improving Community Response Times
After completing an efficiency review of its operations and community meetings, the Saskatoon Fire Department has developed a new service model that will involve moving Fire Station No. 3 from Taylor Street and York Avenue to 2613 Clarence Avenue South.
