Congratulations to our neighbors and brothers over at the Spottsville Fire Dept. This is a awesome upgrade for their department and the community. Keep up the great work over there!

Great news, Spottsville!
Our fire department has officially been awarded the 2026 Kentucky Firewise Community Grant, part of the NFPA’s Wildfire and Firewise USA Programs and the Kentucky Division of Forestry. This is a major win for community wildfire safety.

This grant will allow us to bring in new technology, including Microsoft Surface Pro tablets and an interactive smart board, giving our volunteers the tools they need to complete digital wildfire‑risk assessments, improve GIS mapping, and strengthen our Community Wildfire Protection Plan.

As part of this project, we’ll be completing 150 Survey123 home wildfire‑risk assessments across the district. These assessments help residents understand their home’s wildfire vulnerabilities and give us the data needed to reduce hazards across Spottsville.

This funding directly supports Firewise USA™ goals: reducing wildfire risk, improving defensible space, and helping our community stay safer and more prepared.

We’re excited for what this means for our district — and grateful for the continued support that makes progress like this possible.

This evening members from Niagara & Zion fire departments joined us for aerial/pump operations. We had to call an audible due to missing state instructor. No big deal our in-house instructor took the lead. Good class with different perspectives.
