History of LERU

Lawrenceburg Emergency Rescue Unit was formed in 1951. The equipment was housed with the Lawrenceburg Fire Department until 1991 when LERU moved into the current building.

As with any volunteer unit, LERU went through many changes. The unit was an all volunteer unit up until 1999, when the first of four crews were hired for full time service. Lawrenceburg Emergency Rescue unit currently has four paid crews. They each work 12 hour shifts with rotating days off. The four crews are made up of two people per shift. There is an administrator to oversee day to day operations of the unit. The administrator also fills in for people when a day off is needed.
