The department is comprised of two full time employees, ten part-time employees, and 35+ active volunteers, all of whom are trained at the highest standards. Each year, the Lyons Fire Department responds to over 400 calls for service with one or more of our 5 Trucks, 2 rescue boats and 1 ATV. The department proudly provides mutual aid assistance to neighboring departments.

The Lyons Fire Department was organized to: save lives, suppress and control fires, provide emergency medical services on a first response basis, provide fire prevention education and activities, hazardous materials response, water/ice rescue, confined space rescue, mutual aid to surrounding communities, public assistance during natural emergencies, and other activities as deemed in the best interest of the fire department or citizens of our community.
