Who we are

Our department

-

Lewis Township Fire and Rescue provides fire protection and emergency medical services to Lewis Township, and a portion of Garner Township, to the south and east of the city limits of Council Bluffs in southwest Iowa.

We provide protection to more than 6,500 residents that live in our district, which covers approximately 35 square miles. We respond to an average of more than 600 calls every year.

We are driven by volunteers

-

Our department is a combination department, made up of volunteers supported by paid staff. In the United States, about 70% of firefighters are volunteer and appropriately 85% of departments are all or partially volunteer. Our volunteers take time away from their loved-ones and careers to help their neighbors in times of need.
