Our Story
The Elderville-Lakeport Volunteer Fire Department was founded in August 1975, born from the need for emergency services after a tragic vehicle fire claimed a life. With no fire department in the area, community members came together to establish a volunteer force. Initial meetings were held at the Elderville community center, where the mission and name of the organization were decided. Over the years, the department has expanded, acquiring essential equipment and building fire stations to effectively serve the community.
