Volunteer firefighters provide fire protection services for Lamont County from five different fire halls. The fire halls in Andrew, Bruderheim, Chipman, Lamont, and Mundare are contracted to provide fire protection services to Lamont County residents and each hall has their own district. To find out which fire district you reside in, check the Fire Districts Map.
In 2007, our volunteers responded to 139 calls for fires, motor vehicle incidents, and for situations requiring medical assistance. We would like to thank these volunteers for making a difference in our community. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact the municipality in your fire district.
