The Emergency Services Master Plan by Evolution Integrated Solutions Inc. reviewed fire and ambulance services in the area. It looked at current levels of service as well as forecasting future needs. Currently, ambulance services are provided out of Fort Saskatchewan and Redwater under contract to Sturgeon County. Volunteer fire departments, located in Redwater and Gibbons, are the first responders into the Industrial Heartland and Sturgeon Industrial Park (W4) areas of Sturgeon County. The Emergency Services Master Plan identified that the expectations of County residents exceeded the capabilities of the current volunteer fire responders. This will be further compounded by industrial growth in the Industrial Heartland area and Sturgeon Industrial Park (W4), necessitating enhanced response capabilities in the future.
