The Camanche Fire Department has been in existence since 1942. Since that time, we have proudly served and protected the citizens of Camanche and their property. We are a fully staffed station consisting of five full time employees and over 25+ volunteers. Our services include both fire protection and prevention as well as full ambulance service to the town. Working with the Clinton Law Center and the Camanche Police Department, we are proud and honored to serve the City of Camanche.
