Our District
The Lancaster
Fire Department protects approximately 12,000 residents of the Village
of Lancaster. Our district is
comprised of a mixture of residential, commercial, and industrial
properties. Four active rail
lines dissect the Village, along with two major state truck routes
(Walden Avenue and Broadway).
Five elementary schools, one middle school, one high school,
nine churches, Como Lake Park, and the Lancaster Opera House call the
Village of Lancaster home.
The Lancaster
Fire Department provides fire, rescue, and emergency services for the
Village of Lancaster and mutual aid jurisdictions. Our Department provides secondary
response to EMS (emergency medical services) requests when local ambulance
resources are depleted.
Our district
borders Depew to the West, Town Line to the East, Twin District to the
South, and Bowmansville to the North.
Operating out
of two stations, the Lancaster Fire Department operates three Engine
Companies, one Ladder Company, one heavy rescue, two light rescues, a
boat, and fire prevention utility vehicle.
Proudly
committed to saving lives in the Lancaster community since 1874.
