Fire Fighting Service CostsProperty owners are responsible for paying the cost of fighting fires on their property. Please review your fire insurance policy, especially your deductible, to ensure it meets your needs.
Reporting Controlled BurnsAll controlled or planned burns must be reported to the Moose Jaw Fire Department at (306)692-2792 in advance to avoid a false alarm. If a controlled burn has not been reported, a landowner will find him/herself facing a substantial fire bill if a well meaning passerby reports a fire.
Ratepayers with Security/Fire Alarm SystemsThe Moose Jaw Fire Department informed us that they will be charging for all fire department responses to alarms including false alarms. Our fire fighting service is on a “fee for service” basis, so the owner/recipient of the service will be invoiced. Note: it can cost $1400 for the Moose Jaw Fire Department, to respond to a call and return to the Firehall – this is without performing any service.
If you have or plan to have an alarm system installed, it is very important that you provide the alarm monitoring company with accurate information, such as:
- name of rural municipality (Pense No. 160);
- name and phone number of the Fire Department that will respond (Moose Jaw Fire Department 306-692-2792 or Pense Volunteer Fire Department 306-525-3999 – these numbers are required as alarm companies are not allowed to use the 9-1-1 system);
- correct legal land description;
- emergency response number (numbered sign in your driveway).
Please call the office for more information.
