Lebanon Fire Department

In 1830, the department was established in response to the frequent fires in the area, initially focusing on addressing wooden chimney hazards. Over the years, the department evolved, with various committees formed to procure firefighting equipment such as ladders and fire hooks. In 1876, they 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 provides fire, rescue, and first responder emergency medical services to the citizens and visitors of Lebanon, Tennessee. The Lebanon Fire Department works diligently to provide those in Lebanon with the best service, along with the most trained, qualified, and professional personnel.
