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.
