City of Buffalo Lake

The Buffalo Lake Fire Department is an all-volunteer service established in 1896, currently comprised of 25 dedicated members who serve the community by responding to emergencies across multiple townships. The department prioritizes regular training and maintains a robust retirement program for its firefighters, ensuring a well-prepared and committed team.

Funding for the fire department primarily comes from a city charge on water bills and grants, including a notable award from FEMA that allowed for significant upgrades in equipment and vehicles. The department continues to adapt and enhance its capabilities, utilizing advanced firefighting techniques such as foam for efficient fire suppression.
