Volunteer Fire Services

The Lauderdale County Fire Service is comprised of 17 Volunteer Fire Departments with 22 fire stations. These departments are staffed with over 300 personnel that provide fire protection, rescue, and emergency medical services to the citizens of Lauderdale County. The average call volume is 2500 calls a year.

In addition to the countless hours given to responding to calls, many volunteers also dedicate a large portion of their free time to training to meet the ever expanding demands of the job to include Fire Suppression, Hazardous Material Incidents, Vehicle Extrication, and Emergency Medical calls. The Lauderdale County Fire Service is fortunate to have a large group of personnel that dedicate so many hours to improving the county Fire Service and the fire service as a whole through continuing education at the Mississippi Fire Academy and the National Fire Academy. Many of these men and women can be seen carrying out this mission every day in Lauderdale County.

In addition to personnel, the Lauderdale County Fire Service enjoys a good working relationship with the Board of Supervisors who assist in achieving the Fire Service's goals by providing equipment and funding to carry out its missions.

Residents are encouraged to stop by their local volunteer fire departments to learn more about the services they provide and ways to get involved.
