Our Full-Time Paid Personnel are available at Station 1 from 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. and 11 p.m.- 8 a.m. Monday - Friday.
Our Fire Fighter/Rescue Volunteers carry dispatch radios and gear with them to ensure that they are ready to respond on a moment's notice - even if they are not at a station. Many times this means in the middle of meals, grocery shopping and even sleeping. When a call is recieved through 911 dispatch requesting the services of LPFPD 5, equipment/truck needs are assessed and those volunteers able to respond either go immediately to the scene or meet at the appropriate station.
