City invests in enhanced emergency response capacity

The City of Leduc is investing in its emergency response services by adding a third fire hall to the community on the east side of the railway tracks. 

The new fire hall, located in the Harvest Industrial Business Park, is expected to improve emergency response time in the industrial area by nearly 25 per cent. It will also ensure emergency responders are positioned on both sides of the train tracks.    

“The new fire hall is an important investment in the safety and well-being of our growing community,” says City of Leduc Mayor Bob Young. “It supports our continued commitment to efficient and reliable emergency services for residents and businesses when every second counts.” 

The full project will cost $14.05 million, including the land, the extension of 63 Avenue to the site, and the design and construction of a 15,769 square-foot facility featuring six dormitories, offices, a dayroom, a workout room, a classroom, and an apparatus bay with two double-length bays, gear storage, maintenance rooms, and a mezzanine.    

The City of Leduc’s Fire Services department will expand to support operations of the new fire hall by recruiting eight new firefighters (four were hired in 2024) and four new captains. One new fire engine will be added to the fleet.  

“The community counts on us to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies,” says City of Leduc Fire Chief, Bryan Singleton. “The addition of this fire hall will improve our ability to deliver fast, efficient and reliable emergency response across the entire city.” 

Construction will begin this spring and has an estimated timeline of two years. The facility is anticipated to be operational by early 2027.  

The City of Leduc will provide regular construction updates once the project begins. The facility was designed by ACI Architecture, and the construction contract has been awarded to Scott Builders Inc.
