Lloydminster Fire Department

Are you interested in booking a fire safety activity?

Please remember, that if an emergency arises, the crew(s) will have to be able to leave the area quickly and efficiently. If an emergency arises prior to any booking, you will be contacted to reschedule.

The fire activities offered by the Lloydminster Fire Department include:

• Fire station tours
• School visits
• Community events

Within Lloydminster city limits the Fire Chief may issue fire bans. Lloydminster is not subject to provincial fire bans or fire bans issued by neighbouring municipalities.

Currently, there is no fire ban in effect for Lloydminster.

Backyard fire pits are allowed in the Lloydminster city limits – bylaws do apply.

Key points to remember are:

• All fire pits (including those with legs and lifted off the ground) and propane fire pits must be placed 10 feet away from combustible material including buildings, property lines, brush, trees, or other flammable material.
• The fire pit shall not exceed one metre in width, height, or diameter when measured at the widest points.
• A spark arrester mesh screen with openings 1.25cm or less and made of expanded metal must be used to cover the fire pit opening. This is to reduce airborne sparks.
• Only the burning of clean wood products is allowed within the City of Lloydminster.
• Open air fires must always be supervised by a responsible adult.
• A means of extinguishment should be on-hand while burning. This can be a garden hose or a fire extinguisher.

For more information, please review the Fire Bylaw 025-2015. 

During Fire Prevention Week, the Lloydminster Fire Department reminds residents advanced planning is critical to avoiding tragedy during a fire. It is also critical to develop an escape plan with multiple exits and ensure all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functional.

Low-hazard fireworks are not permitted to be set off within Lloydminster city limits. If found to be setting off fireworks you are in contravention of the bylaw and could be subject to a fine.

The Lloydminster Fire Department prohibits the resale or gift of fireworks without a permit issued by the Fire Chief.

To get an approved permit from the Fire Chief, one must:

• Have possession of a valid Fireworks Supervisory Permit
• Has paid a permit fee of fifty ($50) dollars

For further information, review the Fire Bylaw 025-2015.

The Lloydminster Fire Department conducts voluntary home inspections throughout the year. This is meant to give the community much needed home fire safety tips and common fire hazards found in a home. Our professional and knowledgeable staff are happy to answer any concerns from the community.

These inspections are voluntary and there is no obligation to allow the fire department into your home. All fire department staff carry identification on them and will present it when asked.

Are you looking for an inspection to be completed?

Please select the following that applies to you:

• Occupancy Load Permit

Paid, on-call firefighters report to the Assistant Fire Chief. The firefighter is responsible for responding to emergency and non-emergency incidents. Firefighters also participate in fire station activities, community events and attend regular and special training sessions.

The Lloydminster Fire Department recruits new members on an annual basis. Please visit the job postings here.
