MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF
Thank you for your interest in the Lakewood Fire Department. We are an all-volunteer department made up of men and women from all walks of life that are willing to be on call to respond to any emergency 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. In recent years it has averaged between 3 and 4 times a day that they put aside what they are doing and make themselves available to help their community. We have consistently been the busiest all-volunteer department in Chautauqua County, in 2022 answering 1,132 alarms. We cover all of the Village of Lakewood and about half of the surrounding Town of Busti. The majority of our calls are for medical emergencies and we operate two ambulances and a heavy rescue truck to handle these calls. As you will see by examining our web site, we also have two pumping engines, a 100 foot aerial truck, a 4 wheel drive pickup truck, a Chief’s car, a utility task vehicle (UTV), and a rescue boat. We are fortunate here in Lakewood to have the Village of Lakewood Board of Trustees and the Town of Busti Council that are always supportive of our needs and make it possible to have the things we need to be ready to face any emergency. Please take your time while browsing our web site and if you need further information or have additional questions please don’t hesitate to contact us. KURT W. HALLBERG CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT |
