At its formation, it consisted of 13 Fire Stations, 3 full time staff and approximately 260 volunteers. In 1998 the creation of Lakeland County from a portion of the M.D. removed 5 Fire Stations from the Authority.

The current make up of the Authority includes Fire Stations at Goodridge, Glendon, Iron River, Bonnyville, LaCorey, Fort Kent and Ardmore and a seasonal station at Crane Lake. In addition, the Cold Lake Fire Department provides services to the eastern edge of the M.D. through agreement. 

In 2005 the Authority took over the provision of 911 services for the area from Wainwright and District Ambulance. The 911 centre is located in our Station #5 in Bonnyville. Our current staff level is 5 full time staff, 4 part time staff and approximately 180 volunteers.
