Barons fire department disbands

The Village of Barons has made the decision to disband the Barons Fire Department, and as such there will be some changes to the County’s Fire Response Zones.

Citizens in the Barons Fire Department zone will now be incorporated into the Nobleford and District Emergency Services area of coverage. This includes properties from Keho Lake to the northern and western County boundaries. This change is effective immediately.

“We are working closely with the Village of Barons and Town of Nobleford to ensure a seamless transition with our fire service response zones,” says CAO, Ann Mitchell. “We appreciate the time and dedication of the Barons volunteer firefighters for their years of service to the citizens of Lethbridge County and thank Nobleford and District Emergency Services for including the Barons area in their response zone.”
