Over the past 40 years the White City Fire Department has provided fire services and medical aid to White City, Emerald Park and area. The Department has worked hard – together with residents from both White City and Emerald Park – to form a first-class fire department with dedicated volunteers. The White City Fire Department is committed to serving the community and surrounding area through excellence in fire prevention, education, community protection and safety programs.
Under the direction of Fire Chief Mathieu Theriault, with Deputy Chief Krista Bull and Deputy Chief Chris Rostie, a force of over 25 members proudly protects White City, and surrounding area, residents. The Town’s long-term plans include ensuring our fire protection and medical response services meets the needs of residents now and in the future. The Town is fully committed to supporting and growing the White City Fire Department as a high-quality service to our residents and as a mutual aid partner to our neighbours.
Effective January 1, 2023, the White City Fire Department no longer provides primary fire emergency services to Bridlewood Estates, Coppersands, Emerald Park, Escott/Deneve, Great Plains Industrial Park, Jameson Estates or surrounding rural properties. Medical first response services will remain unchanged at this time. The Rural Municipality of Edenwold No.158 has amended the fire boundaries - click here to see current boundaries. Primary fire emergency services in these area will now be provided by the Town of Balgonie, the Town of Pilot Butte or Emerald Park Fire Hall.
To prevent any issues with insurance coverage or claims, we recommend affected parties notify their insurance provider of the change in service. Non-fire fighting services offered by the White City Fire Department, such as fire inspections and pool filling, will still be available. Please contact firedepartment@whitecity.ca if you would like to utilize any non-fire suppression service.
White City Fire Department has had the pleasure of serving these areas for many years and would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the support from residents and businesses in the region. We hope we can count on continued support of the White City Fire Department and all fire departments in the region.

Our Training Programs
Beginning June 2021, our Fire Department commenced training and the certification of our members for NFPA 1001 Level 1 or 2 . This certification is a professional designation recognized provincially and internationally with standards utilized in career departments like Regina Fire and Protective Services. We are excited that we are able to deliver this content from several certified instructors and fire service professionals who are already members of WCFD. These instructors will volunteer several additional hours to their already busy schedules to ensure each of the members on our Fire Department will get world class instruction and certification.
The certification training will take place at the White City Fire Training Grounds – a two-acre area located south of White City part of a larger ten-acre site allocated for future training grounds. Over the past few years, WCFD has been working to develop and establish training grounds that will include structures for search and rescue, live fire training, vehicle extrication, defensive driving and hazmat scenarios with the ability to expand in the future. The training grounds provides WCFD with a well-equipped and safe location to perform routine training, train new recruits and now to bring the level of certification for all members of White City Fire Department up to a provincially and internationally recognized standard with NFPA 1001 certification.
