FIRE & RESCUE
Lapeer City Fire & Rescue serves over 24,000 people living in an area of approximately 100 square miles, encompassing the City of Lapeer, Lapeer Township, Mayfield Township, and the southern half of Oregon Township. As a participating member of the Lapeer County Mutual Aid Agreement, we also provide/receive automatic aid assistance to/from the townships of Arcadia, Attica, Deerfield, Elba, and Metamora; with mutual aid to/from the rest of the county as well as two neighboring counties.
We are a combination department staffed by a full-time Fire Chief, Fire Marshal, Fire Inspector; one part-time firefighter; a volunteer chaplain, and 39 highly dedicated paid-on-call firefighters and officers. We also have an Administrative Assistant and share a part-time receptionist with the Police Department. The department operates out of a single station located in the City of Lapeer with three fire engines, a tender (water tanker), a heavy rescue, a grass truck and an aerial platform/ladder truck. During 2020, the department responded to a total of 344 calls for service. These are all fire or rescue-related; medical emergencies in our service area are handled by Lapeer County EMS and MedStar Ambulance.
