History
During the Second World War, a Royal Air Force pilot training school was located at the Royal Canadian Air Force air station at De Winton (today's De Winton/South Calgary Airport). Temporary buildings were erected to house operations and accommodate service personnel.

In the current day, the fire service has been re-established as a semi-private service; the fire department consists of a few members and primarily protects rural and private properties in the area. The Department works with the county fire service (Foothills Fire Department) when required.
