About Us

Buckland Fire & Rescue was formed in 1969 by a group of dedicated individuals determined to have a fire department to service the Rural Municipality of Buckland.  All of these founding members worked tirelessly over many years to guide and help the department develop into what it is today.

Buckland Fire & Rescue is a non-profit co-operative, charitable organization and a separate entity from the RM, it is run by a Board of Directors that are elected by the members.  Buckland Fire Department consists of approximately 30 volunteer firefighters who attend weekly training sessions along with many hours spent constructing, acquiring, maintaining, and upgrading equipment and buildings.

Buckland Fire & Rescue is contracted out by the RM to provide fire suppression and rescue services to the Municipality.  Buckland Fire & Rescue responds to all calls in the municipality that are dispatched through 911.
