Working towards a safer, more informed community

Northeast Region CAER is a mutual aid emergency response association that was formed in 1991. Our members include emergency responders from industry, pipeline companies, chemical transporters, and area municipal emergency response departments. Together, we train, plan and share best practices for emergency response in our 700 km² area.

Mutual Aid Emergency Response
Northeast Region CAER is activated when mutual aid is requested. Coordinated through Strathcona County 911 dispatch, members are contacted to dispatch available resources. Utilizing a unified command structure, equipment and personnel are brought into the response seamlessly.

Layers of Response
Each member has a site specific emergency response plan that expands to include working with their local municipal fire department and mutual aid partners through Northeast Region CAER.

• Mutual Aid: mutual aid response is required and additional resources are requested by the local municipal authority
• Site + Municipality: response is managed by the site response team and their local fire department
• Site Response: response is managed by the site response team
