Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District

Welcome to the official page of the Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District!

The District was established in 1963 with volunteers and a single fire engine stationed under a canopy on Homestead Road. After providing volunteer firefighting services for 13 years, the District began hiring Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) to operate one ambulance in 1976, which was funded through community support. In 1981, the District realized Advanced Life Support (ALS) was essential an

d added paramedic services. As a result, the name was changed to Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District, which is one of only two ALS transport services in Lee County. Firefighting and ALS services are responsible for preserving life and property in an area of 142 square miles with a population of 135,000+ citizens.

From patient access and stabilization to safe and efficient removal techniques, these exercises help ensure we’re ready when seconds matter most. We’re proud of the dedication our crews show in continually advancing their skills to better serve our community.

Thank you to J & W Towing for their continued support of our training efforts by providing vehicles and space for these valuable training opportunities.
