The Municipal District of Peace No.135 requires Burning Permits from April 1st to October 31st each year only in certain areas of the Municipality.  If you are unsure if you require a permit, please phone the Municipal office at 780-338-3845.  If a permit is required, we will complete a Fire Permit Request Form for the C.A.O. to issue a Fire Permit. A copy of the Request Form is attached here.

The M.D. has a policy in place if you are planning on burning brush piles within 2 miles of a primary or secondary highway, particularly during the winter months when smoke tends to hang in the air.  A copy of the policy is attached here for you to view.

The M.D. has 3 volunteer fire departments that provide fire protection services to the residents of the Municipality.

Brownvale Fire Department - Fire Chief: Trevor Gerk. Provides fire protection to the west end of the M.D. from approximately Range Road 231 to the west edge. Current fire hall is located in Brownvale and was built in 1986. 

 

 

 

 

 

Strong Creek Fire Departnent - Formed in 1983, with the firehall built on land donated by Jim & Eileen Manzer on the SE27-83-22-W5 in 1988. Fire Chief: Larry Spiller. Provides fire protection to the east end of the M.D. from Range 231 to the eastern edge.

Berwyn Backup Fire Department - Fire Chief: Don Black. Provides fire protection backup to both of the other departments.  The Berwyn Firehall in Berwyn stores the M.D. fire pumper as well as Berwyn's fire pumper.

The three fire departments are always looking for new members.  Please contact the M.D. of Peace office at 780-338-3845 if you are interested in joining and we will provide you with the Fire Chief's phone number.  The M.D. pays a $12.00 per hour honorarium for the volunteer service.
