Description
We protect the communities of Prospect, Goshen and Skylight in Oldham County, Kentucky (approximately 15 miles northeast of Louisville, KY). The district consists mainly of residential areas, horse farms and stables, some light commercial and industry and also includes 12 miles of the Ohio River.
In 200 3, NOFD responded to 310 fire runs, 210 EMS runs , and 8 river runs. We are staffed with a full time Fire Chief, a full time training / prevention coordinator, 16 permanent part-time firefighter/EMT's and 36 active volunteer firefighter/EMT's and one part-time administrative assistant. We staff a minimum of one 5 person quint company, a BLS ambulance and two chief officers, Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM. All other times are covered totally by volunteer members.
North Oldham Fire Department proudly serves over 10 , 0 00 people in a 47 square mile fire district. We operate out of two stations, protecting a predominantly rural residential area. Our department is a publicly funded fire district utilizing a mix of paid and volunteer firefighters and EMT's. We have an ISO rating of Class 6 in areas with fire hydrants and Class 9 in the non-hydrant areas. One of our short term goals is to improve the ISO Classification to a Class 4 or possibly a Class 3. This will enable property owners in our district to realize a significant savings on insurance premiums.
