Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services responded to 543 calls for service during the second quarter of 2026, a small decrease form the first quarter.
It was a nine per cent decrease from 589 calls in Q1.
The mix of incidents was consistent with previous quarters.
Fire and rescue incidents accounted for 29 per cent of responses, while pre-hospital care represented 71 per cent.
“These trends reinforce the importance of maintaining flexible emergency service capacity that can respond to daily community needs while remaining prepared for seasonal wildfire and interface fire risk,” said Fire Chief Scott Driver.
“As Cranbrook continues to grow and evolve, CFES remains committed to providing responsive, reliable service and aligning its resources, training, and operational capabilities with community risk and service expectations.”
Overdose related calls were the most common call, but Driver said they were lower this last quarter.
