Last week it was announced that the Village of Hythe will officially become a Hamlet within the County of Grande Prairie on July 1, 2021. The change will also mean that the Hythe Fire Department will now be run by the County.

In a recent Facebook post they said, "This will bring much more to the table to our residents as far as service. Our department has been well supported in the past by all our residents. We full heartedly thank everyone for this support over the 92 year history of the department. Even with the changes our department will still need the public's support. We are happy to announce that the Hythe Firefighters Association has been created. This association includes current, former members and is open to the public as well".

If you would like to contact the association for membership, donations, or support please email hythefirefighters@gmail.com.
