Lately, When I log into Facebook, I have been getting an alert that says I have logged in from a different device than usual;

Was This You? You don't usually log in from this browser, so we wanted to make sure that it was you. Login Details Status: Logged out Time: Sunday, 27 September 2015 at 20:37 IP: 2001:56a:72f3:1800:d4f:56cc:3006:94bf

It also states that my location is near Burnaby, BC, using Firefox on windows. I live in Calgary, Alberta.

That is not my IP address and I have been using the same devices. How or why is my IP address being changed?

Hi gblkhrt, I would be concerned with this because it sounds like you are unaware of another location trying to access the account. When this happened to me, it was recommended to change the password immediately. In that password change dialogue it will ask you if you would like to log out from all other locations. Hit yes, even if you have to login to every other device, you will know that you are not logged into that unrecognized location.
