LIVESTOCK RESPONSE UNIT (LRU)
Red Deer County’s Livestock Response Unit (LRU) was the first unit of its kind in Alberta. There are now eighteen LRUs in the province.
An LRU is stocked with equipment and supplies to assist in containment, movement, and management of livestock in emergency or disaster situations. Emergency response personnel can work more safely and efficiently because of being properly equipped with the contents of the LRU.
When an emergency involving livestock occurs, the RCMP and local fire services would most likely be the first responders.
Red Deer County Fire is responsible for the deployment of the LRU and would assist in contacting emergency response personnel with animal handling experience and a veterinarian depending on proximity and timing.
