LCFR employs over 700 dedicated men and women who provide high-quality emergency response, training, fire investigation, code enforcement, emergency communications, emergency management planning, and other critical services - all funded by your tax dollars NOT donations. Our 600+ proud union members operate out of all 20 fire and rescue stations in the County as well as the Emergency Communication
s center, Fire Marshal’s Office, and the training academy. Of these stations, 17 are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a 24/48 schedule with career professionals. The remaining stations are staffed by paid personnel from 0600-1800, 7 days a week, with volunteers providing evening coverage. At night these members are detailed to upstaff other units, fill leave spots, or provide emergency staffing coverage when the volunteers request assistance staffing their units to maintain minimum staffing levels. LCFR also has 1 Deputy Chief, 4 Battalion Chiefs, 2 EMS supervisors, and 1 Safety Officer staffed 24 hours a day dedicated to daily field operations.
