Laurel Volunteer Fire Department

The Laurel Volunteer Fire Department (LVFD) is proud and honored to have been able to serve the citizens of Laurel, and the surrounding areas for over 100 years.  LVFD’s main purpose is to provide firefighting, and rescue emergency response for the community of Laurel, the 110 square miles surrounding Laurel, and to all those who are traveling though Laurel.  In addition, the LVFD provides mutual aid to the City of Billings, Park City, CHS Industrial Fire Departments, and several surrounding Fire Departments, including Lockwood, Red Lodge, Columbus, Molt and Joliet.

The Laurel Volunteer Fire Department Association, which is made up of members of the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department, has a long standing tradition of supporting the Community of Laurel with its community service.  The Fire Association is known for its world class 4th of July fireworks show, which is rated as one of the top 10 events in the Northwest, and its Christmas Holiday celebration.

The Laurel  Volunteer Fire Department is also known for its award winning Fire Prevention program, with the motto “Prevention through Education”.  The LVFD visits the children of Laurel several times a year, educating them on preventing fires and fire safety.  The first week of October is named “Fire Prevention Week”, and the week is filled with visits to the schools by the firefighters.  An annual open house, where the Fire Department’s doors are opened to the public, is when fire prevention education is in-house, and an hour long program for the children of the community is given.
