Fraud Alert from the Alberta Fire Commissioner - In recent weeks, several fire departments in the province and their communities have been the subject of fraudulent fundraising activities. Individuals have been calling residents of the communities and identifying themselves as a member of the local fire department. The caller would then advise the resident that they were conducting fundraising efforts for the fire department and seeking cash donations. In all reported instances, the fire departments mentioned were not conducting any fundraising and they do not raise funds in this manner. The fire departments involved have notified the RCMP and/or Municipal Police and investigations are ongoing. If our local fire departments are conducting any fundraising activities, they will ensure that messaging is developed to create awareness of those activities for residents and local media. The messaging will include contact information so that anyone having any questions or concerns can contact and discuss them with fire department officials.
