Northeast Lamar Fire, Rescue, & EMS has been serving areas of Northeast Lamar
county since 1972. At that time, the newly formed Northeast Lamar Volunteer Fire
Department provided fire protection to the residents of Oak Grove, Richburg Hills,
Lamar Park, Arnold Line, University Place, West Lake Manor, Westover, Westhills,
and Lake Forgetful among others.
As times have changed, what was Northeast Lamar Volunteer Fire Department
has in 2011 become Northeast Lamar Fire, Rescue, & EMS providing invaluable
fire, medical, and rescue services to the residents in Lamar county. As the
mission of the department has grown, so has the demand for personnel,
equipment, and resources. And yet some things never change. As in 1978,
Northeast Lamar is dedicated to providing professional emergency services to this
area whether in the time of fire, motor vehicle accident, medical emergencies,
weather related emergency, or whatever the need. Also, as in 1978, Northeast
Lamar continues to be an volunteer organization which is comprised of your next
door neighbor.
And yes, in many ways Northeast Lamar has continued to grow and improve. In
1978, a new fire truck was purchased to respond to all emergency calls received
by the fireman on the home telephones. To date, Northeast Lamar operates two
fire stations with the most modern equipment available in any of Lamar and Forest
counties. In 1978, Northeast Lamar answered 35 calls. Today this is over 530
calls of service for NELFD.
Northeast Lamar Fire, Rescue, & EMS receives funding from the Northeast Lamar
Fire Protection District and the Lamar County Board of Supervisor through tax
millage. The continued financial support of these two governing boards have
made Northeast Lamar Fire, Rescue, & EMS the success it is to date.
