Aaron has been taking part in the stairclimb for 10 years.
While his main reason for doing the climb is his commitment to the community & supporting those with cancer, he also wants to inspire firefighters to get in a fitness mindset.

A properly staffed fire truck can mitigate a communities risk. Getting there is half the battle, having the personal makes the difference. It’s time to catch up to growth! #communitysafety #publicsafety #iaff #apffpa #firesidecochrane #firefightersafety

Did you know that last year St. Albert City Council voted to outsource St. Albert fire dispatch?

We kicked off our annual spring convention this morning with our opening ceremonies. We are honoured to welcome our members over the next few days to discuss finding solutions for the challenges we face on the frontlines. Thank you to all of our attendees for joining!

Delegates at our convention unanimously approved to name our Fall Legislative Conference after Curtis Oscar Noble, who suddenly and tragically passed in December 2022. Curtis was an incredible leader and advocate for IAFF members. He will not be forgotten.

We can have safe gear without unsafe chemicals. In Durham yesterday, I made it clear: It’s time for industry and regulatory groups to act. Our fire fighters and communities depend on it.

What an incredible story about the outcome of a call that St. Albert firefighters responded to in 2022!
The fire-medics performed a successful water rescue and restored a pulse. This was followed by amazing care from AB healthcare professionals, which led to a full recovery.

While firefighters are exposed to over 265 known carcinogens in a structure fire, many don’t know that firefighters are also exposed to harmful chemicals within the fabric of their gear.
We’re grateful to see a documentary bring light to this issue.

Incredibly proud of everyone involved in this gripping documentary #Burned—Diane Cotter's valiant fight to bring awareness to harmful PFAS in firefighter turnout gear. It's time for this story to be heard to protect the heroes that protect us.

We were honoured to participate in our second Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal ceremony yesterday. We celebrated 19 of our members and their outstanding contributions to communities throughout Alberta.
Congratulations to our recipients!
