Emergency Preparedness Week

Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is an annual nationwide event coordinated by Public Safety Canada. Held during the first week of May, EP Week encourages Canadians to take steps to become better prepared for emergencies.

To recognize Emergency Preparedness Week, the Stony Plain Fire Department, together with our partners in Spruce Grove and Parkland County, hosts an annual community event. The event brings together a variety of agencies to provide information, demonstrations and practical tips to help residents prepare for emergencies.

Check back in the spring for event dates and details!

The False Alarm Bylaw 2646/PS/21 was created to help reduce false alarms, reduce significant financial impacts on the SPFD, and to keep Fire Services available to respond to true emergencies.

To help prevent false alarms, residents and business owners are encouraged to work with their alarm company and request phone contact prior to the alarm company contacting 9-1-1.

 Fee Schedule

• First Alarm - no charge
• Second Alarm - no charge
• Third and Subsequent Alarms - $250

There are currently no bans on recreational fire pits within Town limits, but please check Fire Bans Alberta for up to date information.

You can have a fire pit in Stony Plain as long as you follow our fire pit guidelines and the open burning bylaw. We encourage safe and responsible burning when using your backyard fire pit.

We ask you to use caution when using any open fire. Adhere to the following steps to keep yourself and your property safe:

• Backyard fires must be kept small
• Fire pits cannot be used in close proximity to combustibles
• Keep a garden hose close by when enjoying your fire pit
• Only use clean, dry wood
• Ensure your fire pit has a mesh screen cover of 12mm or less
• Ensure your smoke is not impacting your neighbours  

Please contact us for open burn permits. 

We provide fire safety inspections upon request. During an inspection, SPFD looks for hazards such as: 

• Exit signs and emergency lighting that do not illuminate

• Fire extinguishers that require servicing

• Blocked or obstructed building exits

• Sprinklers that do not have enough room to work properly

• Combustible materials stored near sources of heat
