Lopez Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. What you may not know is that the primary staffing is provided by volunteers who are trained as Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). These volunteers are a hardworking group of Lopezians committed to helping you, their fellow Lopezians, in times of emergency. In short we are your “neighbors helping neighbors.”
