Lebanon Fire Department
The Lebanon Fire Department was established in 1830 in response to the frequent fires in the area, with a specific focus on addressing wooden chimney hazards. Over the years, the department has evolved, forming various committees to procure firefighting equipment such as ladders and fire hooks. In 1876, the department acquired fire extinguishers and organized a Fire Company with volunteers. In 1879, the mayor recommended hiring a Chief to maintain equipment and improve efficiency, marking a significant step in the department’s advancement.
Today, the Lebanon Fire Department operates 24/7, offering fire, rescue, and first responder emergency medical services to the residents and visitors of Lebanon, Tennessee. Currently, the LFD has grown to a total of 100 personnel, with 89 dedicated to suppression and four fully staffed fire stations. With a growing population of 51,185 residents, the LFD is dedicated to ensuring that the people of Lebanon and its visitors consistently receive exceptional service. This dedication is supported by a team of highly trained, skilled, and professional fire department personnel.
