Welcome to Lumberton Fire and EMS Inc.
Lumberton Fire & EMS services the citizens of Hardin County ESD #2, which includes the city of Lumberton, and surrounding area that consists of approximately 30 square miles and serves a fast growing community of approximately 25-28,000 citizens as well as everyone traveling through our community.
Our department was founded in 1960 under the name Chance Loeb Volunteer Fire Department. Our first station was located on Hwy 69 just outside of town, in 1980 we moved to a new centrally located station at Hwy 96 and Candlestick that was sold in 2004 to fund the building of a new state of the art facility. In 2006 we moved into our new building located at 228 Country Lane Dr.
In 2003, members of the fire department and EMS department decided that the communities Fire and EMS departments needed to merge to better serve the citizens of Lumberton and surrounding community. The Fire Department and the EMS service were completely separate until then. At the end of 2004 both groups started the long process of merging both departments into one stronger organization. In 2005, the membership of Lumberton Volunteer Fire Department and Lumberton Emergency Medical Services were merged into one department, which is now called Lumberton Fire & EMS.
