LaFayette Fire Department is a rural community just a short drive from the City of Syracuse. We cover 49 square miles with approximately 4,200 residents and many daily travelers on Interstate 81. The fire department is 100% volunteer averaging 250 Fire/EMS calls a year. Primary EMS coverage is provided by the LaFayette Ambulance Department, Inc., housed within our station.
Why Our Department
LaFayette Fire Department is in a rural, aging community. In a time when volunteerism in general is down Nationwide, our community is lacking volunteers and are limited by the average age of our residents. Volunteers save our community $1.8 million a year, which would be very difficult for our small community to absorb that cost. We offer out of district membership, LOSAP (retirement plan), and tax incentives.
We are Neighbors helping Neighbors!
Get to know a great group of men and women who are dedicated to the safety and well being of our community. Stop by the fire station any Monday after 6:30pm, contact our recruiter, a current member for information and an application or email info@southbayfire.org.
