About Us

Built on Service,
Rooted in the Bayou

Lafourche Parish Fire District 3 — known locally as the Leeville Fourchon Fire Department — stands as the first line of defense for the coastal communities of Leeville, Fourchon, and Port Fourchon. Our station on J Estay Road in Golden Meadow is more than a building; it is a promise kept to the families who call this stretch of bayou home.

From wildfire containment to structural fires, from hazardous material incidents to medical first response, our firefighters train relentlessly so that when seconds count, we are already there. We are neighbors — your friends, your shop owners, your kids' teachers — wearing the uniform.

What We Do

Emergency Response and
Prevention Services

From the moment a call comes in to the aftermath of an incident, District 3 provides a full spectrum of fire and emergency services across Lafourche Parish.

Structural Fire Response

Rapid deployment to residential and commercial structure fires, with specialized equipment for bayou-area construction and marine adjacent buildings.

Wildland & Brush Fire

Wildfire containment across the prairie and marshland interface, protecting homes, wildlife corridors, and critical infrastructure throughout the parish.

Emergency Medical First Response

Certified EMTs and paramedics on every engine, providing critical care before transport — because in rural Louisiana, every minute is a measured distance.

Hazardous Materials

Trained HazMat response for industrial incidents at Port Fourchon and surrounding petrochemical facilities, safeguarding first responders and the public alike.

Community Fire Safety

Free home inspections, smoke alarm installations, fire prevention workshops, and school outreach — because the best emergency is the one that never happens.

Search & Rescue

Water rescue, vehicle extrication, and technical rescue operations across the bayou's waterways and roadways, day and night, in every weather condition.

Community

We Don't Just Protect
This Parish — We Live Here

District 3 firefighters are not commuters. They shop at the Fourchon general store. Their kids go to school in Golden Meadow. When a storm rolls in off the Gulf, they are the ones boarding up their own homes before heading back to the station.

That local knowledge — knowing which road floods first, which family has a member with mobility challenges, which bayou channel shifts after a heavy rain — is the difference between a good response and the right response. It is the advantage of a department that calls this place home.
