Lapeer City Fire & Rescue
proudly protects approximately 30,000 people living in an area

As a signatory to the Lapeer County Mutual Aid Agreement, we also provide automatic aid assistance to the townships of Arcadia, Attica, Elba, Deerfield, and Metamora; with mutual aid to the rest of the county. The department provides fire protection,
rescue (auto
extrication & confined space), hazardous materials, and public fire education services to
the City of Lapeer, as well the Townships of Lapeer, Mayfield,
and Oregon.
We are a combination department currently staffed by a full time Fire Chief, a Fire Marshal, one Fire Inspector, one part time firefighter, and 39 highly dedicated paid on call firefighters and officers. The department operates out of a single station located
in the City of Lapeer. We have an ISO rating of 5 in the City,
with varying ratings of 5 to 9 in the townships.
Our services include:
- Fire Suppression
- Rescue (extrication & confined space)
- Hazardous Materials
- Fire Code Inspections and Plan Review
- Response
- Fire Prevention Education
- Juvenile Fire Setter Intervention
ISO Rating
This is the rating that most insurance companies use to determine
what to charge for homeowners and business-related insurance. It
is based on the way the fire department receives/dispatches fire
responses (911/countywide Central Dispatch), available water and
fire department manpower/equipment/training.
Meet Your Fire Chief
On behalf of everyone at Lapeer
City Fire & Rescue, I would like to welcome you to the Fire
Department's website. We hope that you will find it to be an interesting and useful source of information for you, your family and/or business.
The department is
staffed by a full time Fire Chief, Fire Marshal and a Fire Inspector, one part time firefighter working 30 hours a week, and 39 paid-on-call firefighters and officers. The department operates
out of a single station and has three fire engines, a tender (water tanker), a rescue vehicle, a grass truck and an aerial platform ladder truck. During 2008, the department responded to a total of 357 calls for service. These are all fire or rescue related;
medical emergencies in our service area are handled by Lapeer County EMS.
This is a significant number of calls to be handled by a predominately
“volunteer” department.
Thanks for taking the time to visit. If you have
any questions or suggestions, please contact me.
