Pincher Creek Emergency Services is an integrated fire, rescue, ambulance, and medical first response organization serving the communities of Pincher Creek, Beaver Mines, Lundbreck and surrounding area.

Our department is led by Chief David Cox, and deputy chiefs Pat Neumann and Margaret Cox. In addition, the department is served by an administrative section, and a group of volunteer fire fighters as well as full-time and casual medical responders in Pincher Creek, Lundbreck and Beaver Mines.

It is estimated that 70 percent of Canada’s firefighters are volunteers. Smaller towns and the rural areas between them do not have the tax base to support a fully paid fire department. Canada is a sparsely-populated, vast country and thus, the only way many Canadians have access to firefighting services is through their own community members who have volunteered.

However, many volunteer firefighters are formally trained to the same professional standards as professional firefighters, and Pincher Creek Emergency Services fully encourages and supports this initiative.
