The small town of Wallace goes above and beyond standard services offering amenities that are essential for a growing economy and community. The Town of Wallace provides 24-hour police protection and its own 24-hour dispatch center. The fire department has looked ahead to the future by modernizing equipment and achieving an ISO rating in the top 26% of all fire departments in the United States. The Wallace Fire Department shows pride in its heritage by their creation of the Thomas Townsen Fire museum, which showcases a fully restored 1926 Wallace fire truck.

This fire department is staffed by community citizens who volunteer long hours to help
ensure the safety of area businesses and residents. Capacities for producing water and
treatment of sewer go well beyond that of most towns it's size, with water from wells at 6 million gallons a day and sewer capacity at 5.5 million gallons a day. Being at such levels allows the Town of Wallace to be in a position of looking for growth instead of the hard position of dealing with too much growth.
