To continue Edmonton Fire Rescue Services’ (EFRS) commitment to protect life, property and the environment, fire stations are being planned, built and revitalized in Edmonton.
The City of Edmonton will continue to provide information to the community as updates become available on our website and social media accounts.
For fire station revitalizations and construction updates, view Building Edmonton.
Highlands Fire Station No. 7 (5025 118 Avenue) is being revitalized. While unoccupied during construction, resources will be redeployed to nearby fire stations. This will limit any impacts on service to the community and ensure EFRS has adequate staff to support emergencies in the surrounding communities.
Construction is starting in fall 2024. The station is anticipated to be back in service in winter 2026.
The Highlands Fire Station No. 7 revitalization includes rehabilitation of the fire station’s building systems and building envelope, alongside facility upgrades to meet the current City of Edmonton and Fire Rescue Services standards, including adding a barrier-free building entrance and public washroom, along with a dedicated duty gear room to ensure a safe and healthy working space.
A full redeployment of resources is required during the revitalization process due to Occupational Health and Safety requirements. Residents of the Highlands neighbourhood can expect the same level of Fire Rescue response during the station renovations.
Fire response commonly involves multiple stations responding to a single event, and Edmonton Fire Rescue Services has measures in place to minimize the impact to full first-alarm response times during station closures.
Highlands Fire Station No. 7’s Fire Rescue resources have temporarily relocated to Fire Station No. 11 (Capilano) and Fire Station No. 18 (Clareview).
These redeployment measures aim to ensure response benchmarks are minimized and service standards are maintained during Highlands Fire Station No. 7’s temporary closure.
New fire station locations are identified in the Fire Rescue Services Station Location Master Plan. Locations are identified based on a number of factors, including: location and access requirements for service delivery; public safety risks related to response time from fire station to emergency; and access and traffic impacts of station on adjacent roadways and local streets.
A new fire station in the southeast of the city was identified in the Fire Rescue Services Station Location Master Plan. The Walker fire station will be located east of 66 Street on Ellerslie Road in one of Edmonton’s fastest growing neighbourhoods to reduce emergency response times and improve community safety.
This project is in the planning and design phase. Once completed, this stand-alone fire station will be emissions neutral as per City Policy C627.
Edmonton Fire Rescue Services has identified a need for an additional fire station in northwest Edmonton. Wellington Fire Station No. 33 will be located at the corner of 132 Avenue and 129 Street. Once operational, this fire station will reduce emergency response times and improve community safety in northwest Edmonton and surrounding areas.
This project is currently in the planning and design phase. The fire station is being designed to be emissions-neutral and achieve LEED Silver certification, which aligns with the City’s Climate Resilience Policy C627 (see Council Policy A-C).
