Hello, Thank you for visiting our website. The Dryden Fire Service has a proud history of serving our community since 1908. That spirit of service continues as we move forward into the future. The men and women of the Dryden Fire Service are here to serve you. From our 56 frontline Firefighters and Fire Officers to our 4 full-time staff that comprise our workforce, we are committed to providing the highest levels of service possible. The Mission of the Dryden Fire Service is to "prevent emergencies, save lives, protect property and the environment". These words summarize what we do, but it is our men and women that embrace these words on a daily basis that continue to make a difference in our community. The Dryden Fire Service is an "all risk" department, meaning we will respond to the needs of the community, regardless of the nature of the incident and begin the process of solving the problem to lead to a positive outcome. We provide a comprehensive emergency service including, fire suppression, auto extrication, standard first aid, water rescue and many other types of emergency services the public requires. Finally, members of the Dryden Fire Service are trained Standard First Aiders and we proudly serve in this capacity assisting our EMS partners when requested. Dryden Firefighters not only respond to emergency situations but give a great deal of their time to local events and charities. Some of these events include: Muscular Dystrophy Boot drive; community parades; Remembrance Day Ceremonies; and the annual Canada Day fireworks. I am proud to represent such a fine organization. I am impressed on a daily basis with the compassion and resourcefulness of the men and women of our service and their commitment to the residents, businesses and visitors of our City. As the Dryden Fire Service moves into our next chapter of service we will continually seek ways to improve our service in an effort to be more efficient, more adaptable and more responsive to the needs of our community. It is our commitment to you that we stand ready to assist you in your time of need day or night, with compassion, professionalism, respect and dignity. Warmest Regards, Ryan Murrell |
