🚒 Congratulations, Nick Wiebe! 👏

On September 1, Nick answered his first call for duty with Station 1-Hays. Hays was called to assist Enchant Fire with a crop fire, which was fortunately brought under control and extinguished quickly.

This is a great example of the dedication and commitment our community firefighters show every day. They volunteer their time and step up when their neighbours need them most.

Thank you, Nick, for answering the call and stepping up to serve our community! We’re happy to have you on the team. 🚒🔥

Thank you to all of MDTRFS firefighters for your hard work and dedication!!

Due to current hot, dry conditions and continued dry weather in the forecast, the Municipal District of Taber has issued a Fire Advisory for all municipal boundaries, effective immediately and until further notice.

While the Fire Advisory is in effect, residents and visitors are advised that there is an elevated risk of wildfire. Fire permits will continue to be issued; however, anyone conducting a controlled burn is urged to exercise extreme caution and closely monitor conditions at all times.

The Municipal District of Taber will continue to monitor weather and fire risk conditions and will adjust the advisory as necessary. The goal of the advisory is to raise public awareness of the increased fire danger, help protect people and property, and reduce the risk of costly emergency responses.

For more information about the Fire Advisory or the Municipal District of Taber Fire Services Bylaw No. 2013, please visit: https://mdtaber.ab.ca/p/fire-ban

The Fire Advisory takes effect at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, and will remain in place until further notice.

The M.D. of Taber Regional Fire Services is pleased to acknowledge a generous donation of $10,000 from TC Energy in support of firefighter turnout gear.

TC Energy representatives recently attended the Enchant Fire Station to deliver a presentation on their Emergency Management System and to highlight their collaboration with the Municipal District of Taber and Regional Fire Services. Members from Station 3 (Enchant) and Station 5 (Vauxhall) were in attendance.
