Where Pride and Tradition Meet!

Yesterday, our Ladder 1 crew got called to Western Elementary School for a very important mission!
The emergency? Their students needed a ladder tall enough to drop their carefully packaged eggs with parachutes and test how well they could survive the pull of gravity.
Since Ladder 1 reaches 107 feet, we were happy to help take this science lesson to new heights.
We always love visiting our schools, especially when the “call” is all about learning, laughter, and spending time with the kids. Thanks for having us, Western Elementary!
Call us anytime. We’ll be there!

Week 12 is done for these green shirts, and our recruits are getting closer to the finish line! 2 weeks left gentlemen!! Keep pushing!

This week, they completed NIMS training, sharpened their IFSAC skills, and spent more time behind the wheel. On Thursday, they practiced incident scene operations and worked through the hose testing process. They wrapped up the week with water shuttle operations and dump tank training.

Every week brings them closer to putting these skills to work for our community. Keep it up, recruits!

On Tuesday we had a little bit of a cliche' call for service.
The Porch Breakfast & Brunch on Sims Pike called us because their porch cat was extremely high in a tree and had been stuck up there overnight. They knew they needed help getting this poor kitty out of the tree, so we came to help!
Firefighters Skinner and Sipes brought Ladder 1 out to the restaurant and quickly got the hungry cat out and back down to an eagerly awaiting family below.
It isn't something we do every day, but sometimes, we serve the community in ways that don't always involve fire! We're proud to do this!

Recruit Class 2026 | Week 11

The finish line is in sight!

This week, our recruits worked on haul systems and rope-assisted rescues, then put their firefighter survival and firefighter rescue skills to the test. They also completed flashover training and skills before ending the week with search and rescue.

Eleven weeks down. They’ve worked hard to get here, and we’re proud of the progress they’re making.

Today, our members rolled up their sleeves for a different kind of lifesaving work. First to roll their sleeves up were Chief Ward and Fire Marshal Cromer, along with Mortenson, Hazlewood, Juett, and Bennet, of our recruit class. We were glad to have Firefighters Browning and Thornsburg of the City of Paris Fire Department join us, too.

Blood needs can arise without warning, and having it available can make all the difference. In just four hours, donors gave 18 UNITS of blood to the Kentucky Blood Center. Every unit will stay right here in Kentucky for patients who need it.

Thank you to everyone who came out today, and to the Kentucky Blood Center for the work they do every day to keep blood available for our communities.

If you’re heading to the Versailles Twilight Festival today, be sure to stop by the dunking booth! The festival’s held downtown Versailles on Main Street!

From 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the Versailles Fire Department will be staffing the booth, with all donations going directly to Scott County Firefighter Jake Gierlak as he continues his fight against cancer.

In addition to everything raised today, the Versailles FOF is generously donating another $1,000 to Jake and his family.

We’re incredibly grateful to our friends at Versailles Fire Department and the Versailles FOF for stepping up for Jake. It’s a great example of the fire service coming together to take care of one of its own.

📍 Versailles Twilight Festival
🕓 Today, 4:00 PM–9:00 PM

Come out, take your best shot at the dunking booth, and help make it a great evening for Jake!
