Our Story

Invictus Fire Rescue Corp. is a 100% Indigenous-owned specialized emergency response and technical rescue company based in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, with Métis and Cree roots. We support industrial operators, municipalities, and project teams across Western Canada. The environments we work in are complex, regulated, and time sensitive. Clients need a provider who can integrate into their systems quickly, operate to a consistent standard, and deliver outcomes that are defensible.

Technical Rescue Standby is our primary service line and the backbone of our field operations. We provide ERRT coverage for confined space, rope access, and other complex access work that often occurs during shutdowns, turnarounds, and urgent maintenance. The service begins before the first entry or lift. We build a site-specific rescue posture that accounts for hazards, access and egress, rescue pathways, communications, medical integration, and command interface. On site, roles are defined, response actions are rehearsed, and equipment is staged to support immediate intervention. This is supported by modern rescue systems, specialized rescue kits, and patient packaging and extrication capability designed for challenging removals.

Our emergency response capability extends beyond standby coverage. We provide firefighting and emergency response specialists for industrial and municipal operations, including WUI and wildland staffing aligned to NFPA standards and coordinated to AEMA expectations where applicable. We support industrial firefighting, HAZMAT and dangerous goods incidents, transportation emergencies such as rail and highway rollovers and spills, pipeline events, and wellsite emergencies that require coordination with well control and blowout response structures. When incidents escalate, we support command and control through ICS based staffing and disciplined communications and accountability.

We also provide emergency management services and consulting for clients who want stronger readiness and cleaner execution. This includes ERP development and review, pre-incident planning for complex sites, exercise design/delivery, and environmental emergency support including E2 planning aligned to ECCC requirements. Consulting and oversight engagements are designed to produce practical outputs that can be implemented by operations. We can also support film, documentary, and series productions with technical rescue, rope access/rescue, and emergency management consulting where credible safety oversight is required.

Training is a core part of how we deliver results. Our NFPA program is centered on NFPA 1006 Rope Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, and Tower Rescue, supported by NFPA 1001 and NFPA 1002 where required. Industrial courses include Respiratory Protective Equipment, gas detection, and safety watch. Medical programs include Heart and Stroke Foundation Standard First Aid aligned to CSA Basic and Intermediate, Heartsaver CPR and AED, Basic Life Support, plus Red Cross Advanced First Aid. Training is built around practical skill development, realistic scenarios, and documented outcomes that support internal competency systems and ongoing readiness cycles.
We use current methodology, modern equipment, and highly disciplined systems because the work demands it. The objective is straightforward. Deliver capable support on the workface, maintain control when conditions change, and ensure people go home safely.

Our Core Values

•Kitimâkeyimowin (Passion)
•Wîcîhtowin (Friendship)
•Tâpwewiniwiw (Loyalty)
•Wapasowin (Fairness)
•Kakehkin (Choosing the Best)

I built Invictus Fire Rescue Corp. around these five values because they define how we show up when the work is high consequence and the standard cannot slip. Kitimâkeyimowin is commitment to the craft and the responsibility that comes with protecting life, which is why our training, planning, and readiness stay consistent. Wîcîhtowin reflects how we operate on site, working alongside crews with clear communication, professional conduct, and a steady presence that supports safe work. Tâpwewiniwiw is loyalty expressed through follow-through, long-term relationships, and doing the job properly even when it is inconvenient. Wapasowin is fairness through disciplined judgment, meaning we apply standards consistently, treat people with respect, and make decisions that protect workers, communities, and the environments we operate in. Kakehkin is choosing the best as a daily standard, driven by the people on the ground, the expectations we set, and the accountability we maintain.
