There are three fire districts in the MD of Bighorn each with its own firehall: Benchlands (also referred to as the "Ghost" fire district), Exshaw, and Jamieson Road. Each district is completely manned by volunteers. The Emergency Services provided by the MD consist of safety codes inspections on commercial operations, fire prevention/suppression equipment and forces.
Ambulance services are provided by Alberta Health Services: ambulances are stationed in the towns of Canmore, Cochrane, and the Mountain View Regional Emergency Services Commission near Didsbury, for response into the M.D.
Policing is provided by the RCMP through rural detachments in other centres.
Remember: If it is an emergency, immediately call 911. To report a crime contact your local RCMP Detachment or the police force of your jurisdiction in your area.
