Our fire department is also supported by volunteer fire fighters. Recently our fire department lowered our ISO rating to a 2. There are three separate fire station locations within the city, we have a fire station within five miles of all the city’s corporate boundaries, which helps us tremendously reduce our fire departments response time. Station 1, which is considered the headquarters, is located at Chloe Road.

The 911 Center also aids in the safety and protection of our community with 24/7 service communication including cellular 911 service within the city limits. It is a state-of-the-art system with state-certified employees who have all been trained through the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice. They are an integral part, keeping a quick response time.
