At approximately 2:15 a.m., Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services crews responded from four stations with 28 members to a structure fire in the 200 block of 5 Street South. Upon arrival, the vacant building was showing visible flames from the upper levels and crews quickly worked to extinguish the blaze.

In preparation for Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG 911), the Lethbridge Public Safety Communications Centre is upgrading their phone system to move to a computer-based, softphone solution.  This transition will take place on January 31 beginning at 9 a.m. and should be completed by 12 p.m.  

​Following recommendations from the City's Transportation Safety Master Plan, the City of Lethbridge is exploring the option of harmonizing speed limits in both playground and school zones. Through this process, community feedback is being collected to help inform City Council's decision.

​Mr. Plow, Snow King, Captain Flurry and Darth Blader are some of the new names of our Lethbridge snowplows.

New year, new waste habits! With 2023 right around the corner, we are reminding residents to dispose of waste materials in the correct and safest way possible.

The final results for the Lethbridge 2022 Point-in-Time (PiT) Count indicate at least 454 individuals experiencing homelessness on September 27, 2022.

​As the winter weather takes hold, Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services would like to remind residents and businesses of the owner's responsibility to ensure vacant buildings are secure to prevent unauthorized entry. This would include all vacant properties such as residential homes, garages and commercial properties.
