Birch Hills Fire & Rescue

🚨🚨Fire Safety Giveaway!!🚨🚨

When we go out into our community to talk about fire safety with students and families we find one common theme. Either families don’t have smoke alarms, they don’t have carbon monoxide alarms or they don’t work. That’s a concern for our department as these devices save lives.

We have partnered with Lake Country Coop in Birch Hills to provide 5 families in the area that we service with a free smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm!

How do you get one? Simply like and comment on this post and we will pick 5 families on October 26 2026 to receive both a free smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm!

We ask that families that do not have either one or both of these types of alarms in their home enter only.

On October 8th 2026 at 08:42 BHFD was dispatched to a vehicle in water in the Rural Municipality of Birch Hills. Upon arrival crews located a tow truck removing a vehicle from a slough. Crews learned that the vehicle had entered the water prior and the owner had exited the vehicle safely but had not called. Crews took information and returned to service at 09:25.

A reminder that if in the event of an accident there is injuries and or either vehicle is not drivable you must file a police report. This prevents a call from someone else after resulting in additional resources being dispatched.

On October 7th 2026 at 12:19 BHFD was dispatched to a Semi vs. Vehicle in the Rural Municipality of Birch Hills. Upon arrival crews found that a pickup truck had rear ended a Semi turning into a field. The pickup truck sustained moderate damage and the occupant suffered minor injuries. The Semi driver was not harmed. Crews maintained scene control and awaited a tow truck for the vehicle. Back in service at 13:54.

A reminder to slow down and watch for farm equipment on our roadways this time of year.

On September 23 2026 at 5:35PM Birch Hills Fire and Rescue was dispatched to a Baler Fire in the Rural Municipality of Birch Hills. Upon arrival crews found a baler on fire on the roadway and a partial bale on fire in a field approx. 30ft from standing crop. Crews extinguished the bale and baler before any further spread could happen and mopped up hotspots in both the field and baler. Crews returned to hall and back in service at 8:02PM.

Well done to all the volunteers and those that made the block party a successful day and hopefully a even better night. Thanks for having us out at your event and we hope everyone enjoyed the tours of our truck.

Thank you to our members for volunteering to showcase the trucks today and for filling ponds for the event.

On Sept 17 2026 at 3:53PM, Birch Hills Fire and Rescue was dispatched to a brush fire in the Town of Birch Hills. Upon arrival crews found a resident burning tree limbs in their yard outside of a fire pit. Crews extinguished the fire and returned to the hall. Back in service 4:33PM

A reminder that as per Town of Birch Hills Bylaw 15-2026, ALL open air fires must be in an approved fire pit and a approved fire pit permit must be obtained from the Town of Birch Hills. Calls resulting from open air fires that are not contained to an approved fire pit and property’s without an fire permit will have their fire put out and all fee’s resulting will be directly billed to the resident. A simple $10 permit could save you from thousands in call out fees.

Great training tonight. First burn in our training center. A big thank you to Muskoday and SPSA for joining us.

Did you know that it’s the law to have working smoke alarms and Carbon monoxide alarms in your home?

Under Saskatchewan's Building Code Regulations and The Construction Codes Act, all residential homes and buildings with sleeping rooms must have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms by law. This applies to all properties regardless of when the building was constructed.

Additionally under “Henry’s Law” all landlords, building owners, condominium boards etc are required to install Carbon Monoxide Alarms in suites or buildings regardless of age. This law takes effect November 1st 2026.

Please remember that Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Alarms protect you and your family from tragedy! Seconds matter in fires and carbon monoxide leaks.

As of November 1, Saskatchewan building owners are responsible for ensuring carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are installed, maintained and tested in each residential suite or unit.

Take action now to protect residents and ensure compliance with safety requirements. https://bit.ly/4x0gLhD
