What We Do

Lewis Township Fire and Rescue is a combination volunteer and paid staff fire department. Our mission is to provide fire protection and EMS services to the citizens of Lewis Township and Garner Township, as well as any emergency in Southwest Iowa when we are requested to respond. LTFR also educates the public on fire prevention and protection. We have been serving the community since 1969 and are proud to continue to do so! 

Interesting Info
  • Our department has paid members and volunteers, each member is required to spend at least 180 hours each year training to respond to any emergency.
  • Our department responds to emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We depend heavily on volunteers to achieve our mission and protect the public.
  • One of the best parts of our mission is to educate the public on fire safety, we love going to schools and daycares in our area every year!
