The Twin Lakes Volunteer Fire Department was
organized March 4, 1929 by approximately twenty men. Virgil
Richter was elected the first chief and meetings were in the
basements of various homes.
 Some members of the Twin Lakes Vol. Fire Department saw a
need for emergency medical service in their area. The Twin
Lakes Rescue Squad was formed in 1949, the first such
organization in western Kenosha County. Earl VanHorne was
the first chief (captain) of the Rescue Squad.
