What’s holding you back??

“I don’t have time”

-Minimum attendance is 1 evening training a month! Attend call outs when available.

“I don’t know if I would like it”

-There are many different aspects to the fire department! We don’t just fight fire

“I’m not sure how I could help”

-We need all types of types! There is a job for everyone. Either on the nozzle, at the pump panel, handing out water bottles, traffic control, medical support, ect….

“I don’t know where to begin”

-Start with an email! Any questions you may have we are more than happy to help. All we need is your interest and we will go from there!

We look forward to hearing from you!

While school buses are one of the safest ways to transport our children to and from school, there is still the chance that these vehicles and the children getting on and off the bus will be involved in an accident.

So, as kids head back to school and the yellow buses return, we must remember that school bus safety is a shared responsibility.

Last Saturday SPLFD had the opportunity to host a grain rescue course. Members from SPLFD, Wetaskiwin City Fire, and Winfield Fire, learned valuable skills on how to quickly and effectively rescue someone who has been entrapped by grain.

Thank you to Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) for the continued sponsorship of this program.

A major thank you to G3 Connection for sponsoring the course for our community and for the purchase of our own rescue gear!

Thank you to G&T Custom Farming LTD. for their donation of the gain and trucking for the course.

What an incredible day at the 12th Annual Taste of Summer!

The South Pigeon Lake Fire Department would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support this year's event. We were absolutely thrilled to welcome 600+ guests to this year's Taste of Summer!

Together, our community raised an incredible $22,442 in support of the South Pigeon Lake Fire Department. Your generosity helps provide the equipment, training, and resources needed to continue serving our community safely and effectively.

A huge thank you goes out to each and every one of our incredible vendors: Darrel & Bev Bohlender, Van Hecke, Layne Bloudoff (Direct Plus Food Group), Jolene Yellowbird, Jeff Swekia, Heidi Mantai & Myron K***z, Mariana Bautista (Pigeon Lake Chamber of Commerce) and the Village Market Ag (Shea Hackwell), Chris & Abby Vossler (6 Voss Services), Hellfire Suppression Services, Darwin & Sheila Mantai, Chef N, and Wallbangers. Your time, effort, and enthusiasm are a huge part of what makes Taste of Summer such a special event. We truly appreciate you being part of our event and helping make the day such a success.

We would also like to give a special thank you to Liebel’s Pharmacy for donating to cover the cost of the wash trailer facilities, and generators were graciously donated Mike Hoflin of Good Measure Services, and by David and Teresa Stewart, as well for our raffle donation for a 2027 Golf Membership from Blackbull Golf Course.

We would also like to sincerely thank Blackstone Mini Golf for providing such an outstanding venue for us hosting The South Pigeon Lake Fire Department Taste of Summer event. Their hospitality and support played a big part in making the day such a success.

Taste of Summer has become one of the South Pigeon Lake Fire Department's favourite annual traditions. While we organize the event each year, its success is only possible because of the incredible support we receive from our community. Seeing everyone come together to enjoy a great day while supporting your local fire department is something we never take for granted.
