The Operations Division is a large division within the Lewisville Fire Department. Shift staffing includes 153 personnel divided between 3 shifts that work a 24 hours on/48 hours off schedule. The Operations Division also encompasses the Training Division, EMS Division and our Fire Department Reserves. Each of these areas function to ensure we provide the highest level of response and care to our community.

The Lewisville Fire Department is an all-hazards department that responds to a variety of calls, including emergency medical calls, structure fires, rescues, wild land fires, automobile accidents, boating accidents, drownings, active threats, alarm activations, lock outs and electrical emergencies. All firefighters are Paramedics, so ambulances provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) care and transport. The engines and trucks also carry medical equipment and can provide ALS care before an ambulance is on scene.

The Lewisville Fire Department has two brush trucks, two boats and a Dive Rescue Unit available if needed. 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Fire Department has eight fire stations, six engines, two tower ladders, five medics, one EMS Captain, and one Battalion Chief.

We are proud to serve this community and strive to provide the best in response and customer service. If you need our help for an emergency, do not hesitate to call 911. For general questions or requests, call 972.219.3580.
