The Lancaster Fire Department serves the Village of Lancaster in New York, protecting about 12,000 residents within a district that blends residential, commercial, and industrial properties. It operates from two fire stations and fields a fleet that includes three engine companies, one ladder company, a heavy rescue, two light rescues, a boat, and a fire prevention utility vehicle. The district is traversed by four active rail lines and two major state truck routes, Walden Avenue and Broadway. The department's borders run with Depew to the west, Town Line to the east, Twin District to the south, and Bowmansville to the north, and the community includes schools, parks, and cultural venues such as Como Lake Park and the Lancaster Opera House. A 2026 development notes the department arranging for a grass fire rig for use in Ortonville, Minnesota, following city council approval.
