2025 saw RMES attend 443 calls – just short of the busiest year in our history (2024): 191 medical calls, 121 rescue- related calls, 93 fire-related calls, rescues and 22 “other” type calls. Top medical call types were: Falls, Unconcious/Fainting and Chest pain. Top fire call types were: Alarms, Structure fires and Wildfires.

Fun fact: Our busiest time of day for calls in 2025 was 3pm and the busiest day of the week for calls was Sunday.

RMES members invested over 14,000 hours in the community in 2025, training fifty times together in addition to attending calls, doing administrative work, attending courses and community events. It would take eight full-time paid fire fighters to do the work that our mighty group of professional volunteers did!

Over the past 47-years, RMES has had almost 270 members “answered the call” to serve our community. Last year we welcomed 11 probationary members and said ‘see you soon’ to several retiring members – they will forever be part of the RMES family. Thank you to our members (past, present and future) and their families for your service!

We take the trust our community places in us seriously and look forward to serving Redwood Meadows and the greater Bragg Creek area in 2026!

Until next month, stay safe!
