 The career firefighters of Lake County Fire Rescue protect more than 200,000 County residents and visitors in an area covering approximately 1,100 square miles.
The men and women of the Lake County Fire Rescue Division are dedicated, highly trained professionals who take pride in helping people around the clock, everyday of the year.
The Fire Rescue Division responds to emergencies that threaten life and property daily. Fire Rescue operates 23 staffed Fire Stations strategically located throughout Lake County and serves both rural and urban areas. Advanced Life Support is currently provided at fourteen (14) of these stations. The division responded to more than 17,477 emergency and non-emergency calls last year, with a response time of 6:33 minutes to 90% of emergency calls.
 Fire Rescue is divided into two branches, Administration and Operations.

The Operations branch consists of the personnel trained in firefighting, emergency medical, special operations and hazard mitigation and the equipment that is used to respond to a variety of emergency calls.
