FIRE ALARM REGISTRATION


Smoke Alarms

Don’t forget to change your smoke alarm batteries twice a year, spring and fall, to coincide with the changes in daylight savings time. Keep a fire extinguisher in your home, and know how to use it. Talk with your children about fire safety and escape plans. Call or e-mail us for all your fire safety questions or concerns.

The mission of the Lufkin Fire Department is to protect lives and property through a variety of public safety services under the direction of the City of Lufkin


The Lufkin Fire Department is a full-service department providing fire suppression rescue, emergency medical services with paramedics and ambulances, a 25-member hazardous materials team, fire inspections, plan review for new and updated construction, fire code enforcement, arson investigation and public information and education. We operate from 5 emergency stations and a fire administration building, with an annual emergency response volume of approximately 12,500 calls. There are 82 full-time personnel, with 79 certified Firefighters and 2 office staff. Our ISO (insurance services office) rating is 2.


The terrorist attack on 9-11-01 brought new responsibilities to the Lufkin Fire Department, including testing capability for anthrax and other bio agents. Lufkin Fire Department also provides advanced technical capabilities such as infra-red scanning devices which provide visibility in the pitch-black atmospheres of structure fires and other emergencies.
