The Airdrie Fire Department is surrounded by Rockyview County, but operates completely separate and have no association with Rockyview. In 2012, the Town of Chestermere returned to an independent fire department within the county of Rockyview, similar to the operations in Cochrane, Crossfield, and Redwood Meadows. The separate entity is known as Chestermere Fire Services. RVFS and the other departments in Rocky View County are all dispatched by Calgary Public Safety Communications, and thus are in the Calgary partnership's station numbering system.
