The Langham Fire Department (LFD) operates out of the Town of Langham from their station located along Railway Avenue. LFD consists of 12 volunteer members from the community. Our members are Level II firefighters, EMT’s and First Responders, many of which are cross-trained.

Two of our members are also members of Saskatoon District Search and Evidence Recovery Team that works under the RCMP. As well, some members are part of the North Corman Park Search and Rescue Team.

The Langham Fire Department responds to fires, motor vehicle accidents, medical and wild land fire calls. LFD is dispatched under the provincial 911 system by Prince Albert Dispatch. We serve a community of 1500 and surrounding area of two hundred and thirty square miles, as well as participate in mutual aid agreement with five other fire departments within Rural Municipality of Corman Park.

The Langham Fire Department is equipped with 7 emergency service vehicles. A Town Fire Truck, R.M. Fire Engine, RM Tanker, wild land firefighting truck, rescue unit and a member modified medical unit to round out the rest of the fleet. We are one of two fire departments between Langham and North Battleford that is equipped with the Jaws of Life and we respond as far west as Maymont to help with motor vehicle accidents.

Training is ongoing for the Langham Fire Department whether it is fire, rescue, auto extrication or medical. Tuesday evening is training night for the department with the first Monday of the month being our monthly meeting night.

The Town of Langham is a heart safe community as they have equipped the Langham Fire Department with two automated external defibrillators (AED). An AED delivers an electrical shock to a heart that has stopped beating and allows the heart to “reset” to a normal rhythm. It is the link most likely to improve survival in adults who suffer sudden cardiac arrest. The length of time from a cardiac arrest to defibrillation is a major factor in the success of the resuscitation attempt. LFD can first respond to these emergencies while waiting for an ambulance to arrive from Saskatoon significantly increasing the chance of survival.

LFD also has a Facebook page, keep up to date with what our Fire Department is up to!  www.facebook.com/Langhamfiredepartment

Feel free to stop by anytime a member is at the Fire Hall or on Tuesday Training nights.
