Message from the Fire Chief

Welcome to the Lowndes County Fire Rescue website. It is an honor to serve the citizens and visitors of Lowndes County alongside the dedicated men and women of LCFR. Our department is committed to protecting our community through professional emergency response, strong partnerships, and a continued focus on safety and preparedness.

Every day, our firefighters respond to a wide variety of emergencies including fires, medical incidents, hazardous materials events, and technical rescues. While emergency response is a critical part of our mission, we believe that building a safer community begins long before an emergency occurs. Through fire prevention efforts, inspections, investigations, public education, and ongoing training, we work to reduce risks and ensure that our personnel are prepared to meet the challenges of an ever-changing environment.

Community resilience is built when public safety agencies and citizens work together. We encourage residents and businesses to take an active role in safety by practicing fire prevention, developing emergency plans, and staying informed about potential hazards. By working together, we can strengthen our community and better prepare for any emergency we may face.

On behalf of the members of Lowndes County Fire Rescue, thank you for your continued support and trust. It is our privilege to serve this community and remain committed to keeping Lowndes County safe.

Sincerely,

Billy Young

Fire Chief
