For Alberta departments

Practical resources to support participation.

Firefighter Rescues Alberta is designed to support both large urban services and smaller rural, industrial, northern, and regional departments.

Submission Guidance

Submit one report per civilian rescued from a structure fire. Keep names, exact private addresses, medical details, and sensitive operational details out of public-facing notes.

Department Participation

Departments can encourage reporting, validate submissions, share training insights, and help strengthen Alberta-wide structure-fire rescue statistics.

Research Requests

Researchers, media, associations, and municipal leaders can contact the project for public-data questions and future report collaboration.
