Cooper Landing Emergency Services, Inc. is a non-profit organization providing fire protection, prevention, awareness and emergency medical services to Cooper Landing and the surrounding area. Although we provide both fire and emergency medical services, members are not required to participate in both fields. Members are encouraged to cross train as both fields operate together on calls.
