The Calgary Fire Department is requesting the media’s

critical lifeline that someone else with a true emergency may
need.

use a cell phone for emergency purposes.

to ensure you have access to a phone in the case of an
emergency.
4) If you do not have access to a cell phone, in the case of
an emergency, all Fire Stations in the affected areas will be
staffed continuously for the duration of the outage.
Additional staff will be sent to the affected areas to ensure
someone is at the station at all times and to assist with
emergencies and any additional calls in the area.

The address of the Fire Stations in the affected areas, are
as follows:

1) #14 Station - 9840 - Horton Rd. S.W.
