The Lakes of the Four Seasons Volunteer Fire Force, Inc. is a volunteer fire department that also provides emergency medical services, based in Crown Point, Indiana. It originated in 1969 as a bucket brigade, with volunteers responding to fires in their own vehicles and limited equipment, and gradually built a fleet and expanded its community involvement. The organization serves residents across Lake and Porter counties, anchored by the Lakes of the Four Seasons community and supported by a small to mid-sized staff.

In 1986, the West Porter Township Fire Protection District was formed to ensure continued financial support for the department. In the early 1990s the Fire Force began first response to ambulance calls with a Basic Life Support Non-Transport unit, and on January 1, 1999 it was certified as an Advanced Life Support provider and began Emergency 911 ambulance service to residents of Winfield Township and the Town of Winfield in Lake County, the West Porter Township Fire Protection District in Porter County, and the Lakes of the Four Seasons community spanning both counties. The ambulance service operates around the clock, staffed largely by part-time personnel from within the Lakes of the Four Seasons Volunteer Fire Force and supplemented by part-time personnel from neighboring Fire and EMS departments.
