the firehouse. We are staffing 2 volunteers Monday through Thursday from 1800 (6pm) till
0600(6am). This enables a quicker response to our citizens request for assistance and our
emergency response. This is a trial program, and if this seems to be a benefit there is a
possibility of making this a 7 day a week program. Thanks to all the guys that are giving
up time for this program.
Service entered into an Automatic Mutual Aid contract for Rapid Response. What this means
is that if you call for an ambulance in the Lewisburg Fire District, you may also get a
fire truck. The fire department is dispatched on life threatening emergencies with the
ambulance. If the fire department has personnel available they will respond, which in some
cases can arrive and be on scene with the patient for minutes prior to the ambulance
arriving. The reason for this is the ambulance continuously gets busier every day. We have
some Firefighters that are crossed trained as Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technician
(EMT), First Responders, and all the Firefighters are CPR/1st Aid certified. The sooner
trained personnel can get on scene the better for the patient it is.

great addition to our fleet. For pictures click HERE.
