The new Cornerstone Fire Station is ideally located to ensure a fast fire and medical response for those in need in Cornerstone and nearby communities. Cornerstone Fire Station will replace the temporary Skyview Fire Station in Skyview Ranch.
When it comes to fires, seconds matter. Every fire burns differently depending on the materials, fuel sources, and weather conditions. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), fires can spread to 1100 % in the first four minutes. They can also spread to multiple homes in under 10 minutes. Fire personnel and equipment must arrive on the scene quickly to reduce harm to people and property.
Over half of the incidents the Calgary Fire Department (CFD) responds to are medical calls. CFD crews are often first on the scene administering medical or life-saving care.
The Cornerstone Multi-Service Development represents a significant milestone in The City of Calgary’s ongoing efforts to enhance public safety and accommodate the expanding needs of our city.
The Cornerstone Multi-Service Development includes a Fire Station (#38) with expanded capacity, Household Hazardous Waste drop-off location and future non-market housing. Like many other City developments, this site seeks to bring multiple services to together on a single site to use land efficiently and maximize service delivery to Calgarians. This aligns
with Council's direction to identify more efficient land use opportunities, build fewer corporate sites, and reduce operating costs.
This project represents a collaborative effort between The City of Calgary Infrastructure Services, Calgary Fire Department, Waste & Recycling Services, and Chief Housing Office. The City of Calgary is committed to fostering a secure, vibrant, and thriving community where all residents feel safe and supported through strategic investments and strong partnerships.

Additional Site Information
The Calgary Fire Department and Waste & Recycling Services partner to provide safe household hazardous waste (HHW) drop-off locations outside several Calgary fire stations. The new Cornerstone Fire Station HHW Drop-off makes it easier for residents to safely dispose of hazardous items free of charge. Unwanted paint, oil, propane tanks, cleaning products, and other household chemicals can be brought to a HHW drop-off location. The items are typically found in hardware and grocery stores. Household batteries, including lithium (battery only), are also accepted. Hazardous materials should not be poured down the drain or put in the blue, black or green bins as it can cause serious health and environmental risks. For more information on this program, what to bring, and how to safely handle HHW materials, visit:
- Household Hazardous Waste residential drop-off program (drop-off locations are listed at the bottom of that page)
- Acceptable hazardous waste and chemicals
As part of this multi-service development, The City is also planning a non-market housing development in a future phase. The non-market housing portion of this project is currently unfunded. The City is also exploring the option of selling the land to a non-market third-
party housing provider to advance this phase. Timing will be determined as funding and partnership opportunities become available.
This development is part of The City’s direction to ensure that low to moderate-income Calgarians can access safe, stable places to call home in all Calgary neighbourhoods. The site is close to community amenities, which is a key selection factor for where to provide non-market housing
