Lexington Fire Department

The Lexington Fire Department joins our community and our Nation in recognizing Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and progress.

This past weekend, Lexington welcomed hundreds of firefighters from across the Commonwealth for the 95th Annual Kentucky State Fire School. Participants dedicated thousands of hours to advancing their knowledge and skills through courses including Fire Inspector, Arson Investigation, Fire Officer, Rapid Intervention Team (RIT), Rope Rescue, Trench Rescue, and Confined Space Rescue - Just to name a few.
Training remains the foundation of a strong fire service, ensuring firefighters are prepared to protect the communities they serve across Kentucky.
A special thank you to the Kentucky Fire Commission and the Kentucky Firefighters Association for their hard work in making another successful State Fire School possible.

1st Platoon recently conducted high-line rescue training, sharpening the skills needed to safely move patients and rescuers across challenging terrain and inaccessible locations. Training today helps answer the call tomorrow.

From utility emergencies to establishing reliable water sources, continuous training ensures Lexington firefighters are prepared to safely and effectively serve our community when called upon.

Good looking Truck!
Thank you all

Now that the rain has finally moved out, we can safely show off a few photos from our 3rd Platoon Technical Rescue Team.

The wet weather didn’t stop these firefighters from getting valuable training time in last week. Whether it’s sunshine, storms, or anything in between, our crews are committed to sharpening their skills and staying ready for whatever challenges come their way.
