VIDEO:The LaGrange Fire Department is building Station #5 and a burn building in order to provide better response time for the citizens of LaGrange! The new station will house a Fire Engine and Command Unit. The new burn building will be used to train city and county fire fighters. They are also looking to hire three more firefighters to add to their current 63 on staff. The new station is located on Vernon Road, near the hospital. Fire Chief John Brant hopes that Fire Station #5 will be open late August 2019. Also, the LaGrange Fire Department has received Accredited Agency status with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) for meeting the criteria established through the CFAI’s voluntary self-assessment and accreditation program.
