Leduc’s Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is an integrated service model where firefighters are also trained paramedics.
The department plays a critical role in safeguarding the community’s well-being through various essential services. In addition to fire suppression, the department responds to motor vehicle collisions, dangerous goods incidents, and rescue events.
The Fire Prevention program emphasizes public safety and reducing fire risks through inspections, fire investigations, fire code enforcement, fire bans, and community education initiatives. Leduc provides emergency medical services as a partner with Alberta Health Services.
Paramedics in ambulances deliver advanced care and transport during medical emergencies. The department is also actively involved in emergency management and planning, collaborating with municipal and regional partners to prepare for and respond to disasters or large-scale emergencies. These combined efforts aim to protect life, property, and the environment, fostering a safer, more resilient community.
The City of Leduc provides a range of fire safety resources and information to help residents and businesses prevent and prepare for emergencies, including wildfire prevention, fire bans, fire safety tips, and guidance on carbon monoxide and smoke alarm installation and maintenance.
Leduc’s Fire and Emergency Medical Services is guided by core values that reflect its commitment to excellence and community service. Professionalism is at the heart of every interaction, ensuring that firefighters and paramedics perform their duties with skill, integrity, and dedication.

The City of Leduc does not require residents to obtain a fire permit to use fire pits or outdoor fireplaces that comply with the requirements set out in the Fire Services Bylaw.
Fire permits are required to burn an open air industrial or agricultural fire. To obtain a fire permit, an application should be submitted to the City’s Fire Services department.
Approved permit holders must follow safety guidelines, including maintaining a safe distance from combustible materials, having extinguishing tools nearby, and adhering to size restrictions. Permits are valid for a specified period and may be suspended if a fire restriction or fire ban is implemented. Violations of the permit conditions could result in fines or revocation.
The fire pit requirements set out in the bylaw and the fire permit requirements for open air burning help the City of Leduc to promote safe, enjoyable outdoor activities for residents and to protect the community from potential fire-related incidents.
