Cochrane Fire Fighters Cochrane Fire Fighters Association - Ensuring the safety and well being of the residents and visitor

The Cochrane Fire Fighters’ Association (CFFA) was formed on September 23rd 2010 after a successful vote by the staff members to affiliate with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). We joined a group representing approximately 300,000 other fire fighters who are responsible for protecting 85% of the population of North America. There are over 3200 individually affiliated groups, of which Cochrane has been designated Local 4819. The CFFA is also affiliated with the Alberta Fire Fighters Association (AFFA) who represents a more focused perspective of fire fighting issues in Alberta. The AFFA is comprised of 17 Locals in the province and has approximately 3700 members.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the generations who continue to live with their lasting impacts.

For us, wearing orange is more than a symbol. It is a reminder that reconciliation requires more than acknowledgement. It requires listening, learning, understanding our shared history, and continuing to build relationships based on respect.

As firefighters, we are privileged to serve our community. That responsibility includes recognizing the history of the land on which we live and work and respecting the Indigenous Peoples who have called this land home since long before us.

Today, we remember.

We listen.

We learn.

And we recognize that reconciliation is not the work of a single day, but an ongoing commitment we all share.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

Yesterday, members of Cochrane Fire Local 4819 were proud to take part in the 9/11 Memorial Workout at the SLS Centre here in Cochrane.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Through a challenging group workout, we came together to honour the first responders and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001.

Thank you to the SLS Centre for hosting this event and providing our community with an opportunity to remember and honour all those we lost.

Twenty-five years later, their sacrifice has not been forgotten.

We will never forget.

Twenty-five years ago today, the world changed forever.

On September 11, 2001, first responders answered the call without hesitation. Police officers, paramedics, firefighters and countless others moved toward unimaginable danger while thousands were trying to escape it.

Among them were 343 firefighters who entered the World Trade Center knowing people were trapped above them and needed help. They climbed those stairs carrying the weight of their equipment and the responsibility that comes with our profession: when someone needs us the most, we go.

They did not know what awaited them. They simply knew there were people who needed to be rescued.

Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, we remember the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice, every first responder who answered the call that morning, and all those whose lives were forever changed by the attacks and their aftermath.

Their courage, sacrifice and commitment to others continue to resonate throughout the fire service.

25 years later, we remember. We honour. We will never forget.
343 — Never Forgotten.

What a great way to spend Labour Day!

Members of Cochrane Fire Services and the Cochrane Fire Fighters’ Association Local 4819 were proud to take part in this year’s Cochrane Labour Day Parade.

The parade is always a great opportunity to get out into the community, visit with families, show off some of our apparatus and, of course, introduce a few future firefighters to Sparky! 🚒🐾

Labour Day also carries special meaning for us. It’s a chance to recognize the generations of workers who helped build our communities and the importance of the labour movement in advocating for safe workplaces, fair treatment and strong public services.

Thank you to everyone who came out, said hello, waved from the sidelines and helped make another Cochrane Labour Day Parade a great one. We’re proud to serve this community, and even prouder to call it home.

Camp Horizon Water Fight

Today, Local 4819 was honoured to participate for our first time in the water fight that has been a tradition with the campers at the Burn Camp for many years. 💦🔥

From the moment we arrived, there was no shortage of fun — GaGa Ball, line dancing, lunch provided by Firehouse Subs, DQ Dilly Bars… and then, of course, the main event…the water fight! 💦

It was an amazing day all around, filled with plenty of laughs, smiles, and we are already looking forward to hopefully joining in on the fun again next year!

🚒 A Fresh Look, The Same Commitment.

You may notice our Command Vehicle has a brand-new look! While the updated decals certainly make it stand out, they’re much more than just a fresh design.

Every fire apparatus is intentionally designed to be highly visible. Bright colours, reflective striping, emergency lighting, and high-visibility decals all play an important role in helping the public quickly recognize us—whether we’re responding to an emergency, operating on a busy roadway, or supporting an incident in your neighbourhood.

Being clearly identifiable is about more than safety. It’s about trust. When you see a Cochrane Fire Services vehicle, you should immediately know who we are and that we’re there to help.

So if you spot our newly redecaled Command Vehicle around town, don’t be shy—come say hello! We’d be happy to answer your questions, show you around, and share a little about what we do to keep our community safe.

See you out there! 👋🚒

🤠 A Shift is getting into the Stampede spirit! 🤠

While we can’t fight fires in our cowboy outfits, we can certainly look the part around the fire hall.

From cowboy hats to boots and a little western flair, A Shift is embracing one of the best traditions of the year while staying ready to answer the call whenever duty comes first.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Stampede! Have fun, look after one another, and enjoy everything this great community has to offer.
