The fire department provides services for the Town of La Ronge, the La Ronge Airport, the Northern Village of Air Ronge and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band (8000 people). These services include, but are not limited to structural and forest fire fighting, ice and fast water rescue, automobile extrication. Airport crash rescue and fire fighting, hazardous materials response as to the level of resources available. The nearest possible mutual aid department is approximately two hours away. And we provide rescue services of auto extrication for most of northern Saskatchewan. By population comparison this is one of the busiest departments in the province.
