The men and women of the Lincoln Parish Fire Protection District No. 1 give of themselves and ask for nothing in return. The only reward they receive is the satisfaction of having helped someone in a crisis situation.
The Fire District is governed by a Board of Commissioners that consists of seven members who are appointed by the Lincoln Parish Police Jury and the Town Councils of the incorporated areas within the District. This Commission is responsible for hiring a Director of Fire Services and an assistant. The Director and his assistant answer to the Commission and are responsible for the daily operations of the fire department and the training of its members.
There are currently six paid employees of the Fire District, including the Director and Administrative Assistant. However, it is the approximately 75 active volunteers who dedicate many hours annually to training and emergency response to provide the citizens of rural Lincoln Parish with the best fire protection possible that makes the system work. Without them, there would be no Lincoln Parish Fire Protection District.
