about us

Northeast Lamar Fire Department was founded in 1978 to serve the northeast corner of Lamar County that lies outside the City of Hattiesburg.  Today Northeast Lamar Fire Rescue & EMS is a comprehensive emergency services department that provides its community with the best services available.

Since the one station, one truck, and handful of volunteers in 1978, NELFD has grown to operate 2 stations, 7 apparatus, 30 volunteers, 2 resident firefighters, and 2 paid daytime firefighers.  NELFD has the 
lowest insurance rating in Lamar County with a MSRB Class 6.
