Wetaskiwin City County Fire Services - Firehouses on Waymarking.com

"The County of Wetaskiwin includes five fire protection areas, which are serviced by six different fire departments Millet Fire Department, Wetaskiwin Rural Fire Department, South Pigeon Lake Fire Department, Mulhurst Bay Fire Department, Winfield Fire Department, Buck Lake/Alder Flats Fire Department.

All of the fire departments plan and upgrade equipment on a yearly basis; these capital upgrades and new purchases are planned on a five year basis. Capital purchases are also supported by the County through the allowance of departmental over expenditures paid back to the County over a pre-determined period, usually a five year term. Funding is established with a fire zone mill rate in each Fire Protection Zone.

County fire protection is provided by a cross section of both County departments and agreements for service with departments in other municipalities. The departments are administered by a Board of Directors and are funded through user fees and a fire mill rate for capital purposes. In addition to capital costs which include new fire halls, equipment and fire trucks the County provides an additional annual operational fire grant to each fire department."
