HISTORY

In 1978, Buckshutem Ambulance Corps was formed. In the beginning, there were two ambulances, a Cadilac and a Ford van. In 1984 the Ambulance Corps moved to Spring Garden Road in Laurel Lake. In 1998 Fire and EMS decided to go off of one name, Laurel Lake Fire & Rescue. In 2009 the EMS divison moved to Battle Lane. Fire and EMS were now running out of the same building. With a generous donation, the EMS divison was able to go paid on June 29th, 2014.
