Fire services not related to private company selling protection systems

By MEDICINE HAT NEWS on April 1, 2025.

Medicine Hat Fire and Emergency Services recently released a public notice saying they are not affiliated with a private company selling fire protective systems door-to-door in the Medicine Hat area.

“While we respect the work of businesses, we want to clarify that this company is not affiliated with Medicine Hat Fire and Emergency Service,” reads the public notice.

Firefighters say to call them and ask questions if someone is trying to sell you fire protection equipment and you’re unsure about the claims.

In Medicine Hat the department offers free home safety inspections for residents, typically including walking through an escape plan, checking smoke alarms as well as general safety tips.

“We do not sell any equipment or recommend anything beyond what the average homeowner truly needs.”
