The Regina Fire & Protective Services is a dynamic, highly trained and competent team that responds to more than 9,000 service incidents annually including but not limited to: fire suppression; technical rescue; hazardous material (hazmat); and emergency medical services (EMS). Other key services include fire prevention; public education and information; and emergency preparedness and awareness. Our staff members are dedicated and knowledgeable and this transfers into a safe community for our residents.
Currently we service an area of approximately 146.8 sq. km., 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Response goes beyond civic boundaries and is covered by service agreements with affected municipalities.
