Fire Marshal's Office
- Employees of the Lexington Fire Department's Fire Marshal's Office (FMO) are responsible for efficiently investigating all types of reported fires across the State of Kentucky. They also work to prevent fires by organizing public events and conducting inspections statewide. A Fire Marshal should be requested by first responder personnel at the end of an active fire scene to search for evidence of foul play or suspicious activity that may indicate human intervention in the cause of the fire. Consequently, the Fire Marshal's Office holds jurisdiction over fire and arson-related investigations throughout Kentucky.
Fire Academy Office
- The LFD Fire Academy is dedicated to the training, certification, and ongoing education of Kentucky Fire's frontline firefighters and paramedics. We offer a wide range of courses, including Truck Operations, Tanker Operations, HAZMAT, Incident Command, Paramedic Training, Flight Paramedic Training, Wildland Firefighting, and Rescue Techniques. Our Training Officers are committed to providing the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure our department is fully prepared for any emergency situation.
Division of Special Operations
- The Division of Special Operations provides support for various emergency situations, including Water Rescue, Air Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, Technical Rescue, Helicopter Medical Evacuations, and Search and Rescue, among others. With resources like AirMed and AirRescue, the DSO ensures that LFD firefighters are certified as Flight Paramedics, enabling them to operate aircraft and conduct dive rescues to ensure citizens receive safe medical assistance at all costs.
