What is the run down of companies in Lawrence as far as which companies run from what stations and their staffing levels?



Thanks in advance.

Hi Larry

I put the staffing numbers are in the (). Fire units have Captains and Ladder/Rescue 5 and all Medic's have Lieutenants. The firemen are a mix of Fireman and Engineer.



Fire House 1 built 1950 with two brass fire poles downtown

Quint 1 (three), Medic 1 (two) and Tender 1 (cross-staffed), Engine 7 (Reserve)



Fire House 2 third relocation 2004 east side

Quint 2 (three), Medic 2 (two) and Ladder 2 (Reserve)



Fire House 3 built 1967 northwest side

Quint 3 (three), Medic 3 (two) and water rescue units



Fire House 4 second relocation 2006 west side

Quint 4 (three), Medic 4 (two) and Quint 40 (Reserve)



Fire House 5 and Fire Headquarters built 2005 edge of KU Campus

Engine 5 (three), Ladder 5/ Rescue 5 (three-four), Medic 5 (two), Chief 6 (Div Chief), Haz-Mat 5 (cross-staffed), Quint 50 (Reserve), Battalion 1 (Reserve).



Fire House 11 residential home occupied 1997 Baldwin City, Kansas 30 min south of Lawrence

Medic 11 (two)



Original Fire House 2 built 1928 is now Fire Investigation. Has one steel fire pole

Investigation Truck



Second Fire House 2 built 1967 is now Fire Academy and Shops.



Original Fire House 4 built 1982 is used by LPD and also houses the 1955 ALF 700 Series. Has one Brass fire pole. The pole originally came from the 1928 Fire House 2.





Fire House 5 is the hub center of the city that is why Engine 1 and Ladder 1 were relocated in 2005 when five opened. The idea is that every fire will get one engine, one ladder, two quints, and the division chief. When Chief 6 the Division Chief is off on vac a Captain rides as Acting Div Chief and is called Battalion 1.



Stay Safe Brother,
