Turtleford Volunteer Fire Department
Volunteer Fire Department
The Turtleford Volunteer Fire Department is jointly supported by both the Town of Turtleford and the R.M. of Mervin. The Fire Hall is located in the centre of town at 201 Hwy. 26. In 2012, a new Truck was purchased, followed by a new Command Unit in 2014. Members have also been trained to land STARS and the Department is equiped with a STARS Fuel Trailer. The Department meets regularly on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month for training and practices. New members are always welcome.

Junior Firefighter's Program
The Junior Firefighter's Program allows High School students the opportunity to be involved in the Fire Department. Participants must be 15 years of age. They are trained by the Department, receiving the same training as regular members. Junior members also respond to calls along with regular members and attend Department meetings. Past participants have continued on to become emegency response workers in other communities or to become regular members of the Turtleford Department.
Open House
As part of Fire Prevention Week, the Volunteer Fire Department opens its door to the public each year for a day of fun, information, and community outreach. All are welcome to come down to the Fire Hall, sit upfront in the Fire Trucks, and ask questions. The Open House usually falls on the Saturday of the Thanksgiving long weekend.
