Lansing Fire Department Inc. Lansing Fire Department is a 100% volunteer department serving approximately 75 square miles in the northeast of Tompkins County located in central New York.

Operating from four stations, the Lansing Fire Department responds to all alarms of fire, vehicle accidents, medical emergencies (EMS), hazardous material incidents (HazMat), and hazardous conditions in our response area. In a typical year, we will respond nearly 900-1000 times to calls for help, with a near-even split between EMS and all other calls. Our coverage area is one of the largest in the county, in addition to being one of the most varied. Any day could bring a call to a farm, hotel, shopping mall, regional airport, manufacturing facility, mine, or power plant - in addition to the more common calls to private residences.

🚒 Tractor-Trailer Fire – Lansing Fire Department 🚒
Last night, Lansing Fire Department responded to a tractor-trailer fire at the intersection of VanOstrand Road and Buck Road. Upon arrival, crews encountered a fully involved truck fire with heavy flames and thick black smoke.
Firefighters worked to bring the fire under control and protect the surrounding area. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) is working to mitigate the fuel spill resulting from the incident.
A big thank-you to the Groton Fire Department for their assistance on scene and to all firefighters and emergency personnel who responded and worked to manage this incident.
We appreciate the teamwork and continued support between our neighboring departments and responding agencies.
🚒 Stay safe, and please give emergency responders room to work!

🚒 Fire Prevention Week is underway in Lansing! 🔥

We kicked off Fire Prevention Week by welcoming Lansing 1st graders to our fire station and visiting the kindergarten class at the elementary school.

Our firefighters had a great time showing the kids around the apparatus, explaining the equipment we use, and talking about important fire safety topics. The students had plenty of questions and lots of excitement as they got an up-close look at the trucks and gear!

A huge thank-you to the Lansing School District staff, teachers, and students for helping us make fire prevention education a priority.

Teaching our youngest community members about fire safety today helps keep everyone safer tomorrow.

🔥 Learn fire safety. Practice fire safety. Stay fire safe! 🚒

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — 25 Years Later

Twenty-five years have passed, but we will never forget.

On September 11, 2001, our nation was forever changed. Nearly 3,000 innocent people lost their lives that day — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, friends, coworkers, and strangers who never had the chance to return home.

We remember the 343 FDNY firefighters and 2 FDNY paramedics, along with the police officers, EMS providers, military personnel, and other first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice while answering the call.

We remember the civilians aboard the four aircraft and those who were in the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

We remember every life lost, every family affected, and every community forever changed.

Their names may be many, but their stories and their memories will never be forgotten.

25 years later, we remember them all.
We honor their lives.
We honor their sacrifice.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

🚒 DRIVER/OPERATOR TRAINING BLITZ 💦

Our crews recently spent time sharpening their driver and pump operator skills during a hands-on training blitz focused on water supply and apparatus operations.

Members worked through drafting operations from the lake, portable tank setup, water supply operations, and supplying an aerial apparatus for master stream operations. Operators also had the opportunity to work through pump operations, positioning, communication, and maintaining a steady water supply throughout the evolution.

This type of training is critical. It allows our drivers and operators to build confidence, improve communication, and become more comfortable with the equipment and challenges they may face on an actual incident.

A big part of being ready for the call is putting in the work before the call comes.

💪 Train hard. Operate safely. Be ready.

🚒 Training on the Water with Trumansburg FD! 🌊🔥

Last evening, our crews had the opportunity to train alongside the Trumansburg Fire Department for a hands-on evening of water supply and pumping operations at the lake.

Crews worked together operating the marine unit, establishing a water supply, stretching hose lines, and flowing multiple handlines and master streams. The training provided a great opportunity to work on communication, coordination, pump operations, and moving large volumes of water from the lake.

Joint training like this is invaluable. Working alongside neighboring departments allows us to become familiar with each other’s equipment, operations, and capabilities while building the teamwork needed when we respond together on an actual incident.

A big thank-you to Trumansburg FD and everyone who came out and put in the work!

Train together. Work together. Respond together. 🚒💪 🛥
