Fire hydrants can make the difference in saving a structure or protecting people's lives. In a fire situation, every second counts. Access to water from fire hydrants are key to help our fire services properly put out a fire.
Report a fire hydrant
Under the County's Community Standards Bylaw it is illegal to damage, interfere or tamper with a fire hydrant.
If you see a hydrant is not visible or accessible, help us keep our neighbourhoods safe by calling Regional Enforcement Services at 780-532-9727.
Keep fire hydrants accessible
If you own or occupy property near a fire hydrant, it is your responsible to keep it clear of obstructions:
- Keep at least 1 metre of clear space in all directions so it is accessible for firefighters
- Clear snow from the hydrant
- Cut weeds or grass around the hydrant to ensure it is visible from the street
