Structure Fire - Hickory Street, Kingwood, WV
October 22, 2026 | 7:28 p.m.

Kingwood Volunteer Fire Department was alerted to a structure fire with reported flames showing on Hickory Street.

Engine 56, Attack 5 and Unit 54 responded with 9 personnel, also assisted by mutual aid departments Albright, Tunnelton and Terra Alta, totaling 24 personnel on scene. Engine 56 arrived to find a fully engulfed garage fire with exposures. Attack 5 hit the nearby hydrant for 56’s water supply and all the crews quickly knocked down the fire and stayed on scene for an extended amount of time to check for extensions due to some very close exposures, as well as overhaul. All Company 5 units cleared the scene at 9:46 p.m.

A special thank you to Albright Volunteer Fire Department, Tunnelton Vol. Fire Department and Terra Alta Volunteer Fire Department for their
mutual aid assistance!

🚒🔥 Fire Safety Visit — October 5, 2026 🔥🚒

Kingwood Volunteer Fire Department enjoyed a fire safety visit with three pre-K classes from Kingwood Elementary School!

We talked with the students about calling 911 in an emergency, making an emergency escape plan at home, smoke detectors, and “Stop, Drop, and Roll.”

The students also toured a fire engine and watched demonstrations of our firefighting gear and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Seeing a firefighter in full gear helps children understand what we look and sound like during an emergency so they know we are there to help.

Thank you to the students and teachers for spending time with us and helping make fire safety education part of their day! 🚒
