NewsPublic Safety within the Municipality is provided by Fire services, RCMP, Victim Services, EMS, Emergency Preparedness, and Bylaw.
We would like to remind all residents to ensure your house numbers are clearly visible from the road in order to assist Emergency Responders with finding your home promptly in emergency situations.
Emergency responders cannot find you when the seconds count if your house number isnot clearly displayed, visible from the street and visible at night. This could cost you precious time in an emergency!
Fire services are responsible for responding to various types of emergencies such as fires, hazardous materials incidents, medical emergencies, natural disasters, and rescues within the Town of Fairview and the M.D. of Fairview No. 136.
Their primary objective is to protect life and property by controlling, preventing, and extinguishing fires. The fire services also conduct fire prevention inspections to identify and eliminate potential fire hazards in buildings and other structures.
They educate the public on fire safety and prepare emergency response plans for their communities. In addition, fire personnel may offer non-emergency services like assisting elderly citizens, providing mutual aid to neighboring jurisdictions, and monitoring fire alarms.

CAPTURE PROGRAM (COMMUNITY ASSISTED POLICING THROUGH THE USE OF RECORDED EVIDENCE)
The Alberta RCMP are excited to announce our voluntary surveillance camera registry program, called CAPTURE (Community Assisted Policing Through the Use of Recorded Evidence). Residents and businesses who have video surveillance, and are willing to share video camera footage when requested, can sign up. This initiative won’t replace officers from knocking on doors, but it will help officers track down video evidence in ongoing criminal investigations in RCMP jurisdictions. This strategy is another way the Alberta RCMP are working with our communities to help solve crime faster, together. By providing video footage to police during an investigation, communities increase the chance of a successful prosecution.
RAVE ALERT SYSTEM
Fairview RCMP encourages residents to sign up for the Rave Mobile Safety mass notification system as an additional tool to be used in crime prevention and community safety. Rave alerts provide Albertans with real-time, trusted information around public safety and crime prevention. Users register online and then select the region or regions they wish to receive alerts for, as well as the type of information they want to receive. They can then decide how they would like to receive alerts, whether it be via phone call, SMS text message, or email.
