Wood Lake Volunteer Fire Department
The Wood Lake Fire Department consists of about 20 volunteers, trained, willing and able to aid or assist in any or all emergencies that the people of this community and our neighboring communities might encounter.
Wood Lake First Reponders
Since the fall of 1985 the residents of Wood Lake can summon help quickly for any emergency by dialing 911 on their telephones. This was the year when the Wood Lake First Responders were formed. All members of the First Responders team carry a pager which alerts them to an emergency from the sheriff's office where 911 calls are received.
Our First Responders are trained volunteers. Once certified, they continue learning by attending refresher training annually and attend monthly meetings. The entire team is recertified every other year by the team's Medical Director. Four of our team members have been trained in cold-water rescue.
