Lannon Fire Department Service Area
As you can see on the map to the right, there are three zones of
coverage that the Lannon Fire Department responds to
Green- the area of the
map that is bordered in green is the actual
Village of Lannon, which is approximately 2.5 square
miles of land coverage. The Lannon Fire Department is the primary service
provider for all fire suppression, emergency medical, and rescue incidents
that occur here. During the working day hours; through an Automatic
Mutual Aid Agreement, the Village of Menomonee
Falls also sends out their first responders to guarantee that there
are enough personnel available for the incident. Any structure fire
at any time in this and in the blue area below will bring a full response
from the Menomonee Falls Fire Department
Blue- the blue bordered
areas of the map represent approximately 9 square miles of
Menomonee Falls that the Lannon Fire Department
responds to automatically as the primary service provider, through the
same mutual aid agreement and the Menomonee Falls Fire Department provides
first responder services here just as in the actual Village of Lannon.
This area; along with the actual Village of Lannon, combine to form
the Lannon Fire Protection District which is approximately 11.5 square
miles in area
Red- this bordered area
is another area that the Lannon Fire Department is automatically dispatched
to along with the Menomonee Falls Fire Department. The situations that
warrant this response would be any structure fire or gas leak, as there
is a very high potential that additional resources will be needed. This
area is approximately 12.5 square miles.
Special Services. The Lannon Fire Department was a cooperating agency
with a consolidated technical rescue team along with the Fire Departments
of Germantown, Lisbon, Menomonee Falls, Richfield, and Sussex which
amassed to an area of approximately 140 square miles. This team was
made up of firefighters who were trained in more specialized operations;
such as hazardous materials, confined spaces, building collapses, and
high angle rescues. In 2004 the hazardous materials responsibilities
were transferred over to the counties' hazardous material teams, and
the consolidation of all special services was dissolved on January 1,
2008. The respective departments have retained their members and equipment,
and through mutual aid agreements will still work together at any incident
that would require the services. Resources that are beyond this level
will bring in rescue operators from the respective counties, and the
Milwaukee Fire Department's Heavy Urban Rescue Team is available for
major incidents as well.
