Tomorrow the Frankfort and Franklin County community will come together to honor the life of Franklin County Firefighter Kolby Tucker.

The celebration of life will include a large procession of fire and EMS vehicles in Kolby's honor, beginning from Capital City Christian Church, traveling from Versailles Road to KY676/East West Connector, to Martin Luther King Blvd, turning onto East Main, ending at the Frankfort Cemetery. Please be aware of traffic impacts beginning approximately 11:30 AM Tuesday, September 1 and lasting until the procession concludes in these areas. A map of the route is below.

Today was our AmeriCorps Environmental Educator's, Christine Argus, last day on the job. However, she didn't spend the day slacking off. Instead, she presented a lesson on vermicomposting to Ms. Deborah Willette's 3rd period, 8th grade science class at Elkhorn Middle School. We thank Christine for her past year of hard work in our community.

Please join us in keeping the family of Firefighter Kolby Tucker in your thoughts and prayers during their time of grief.

It is with great sadness that Franklin County Fire & Rescue announces the passing of Firefighter Kolby Tucker.

Kolby served our department for the past three years and was a highly valued member of our fire department family. His dedication, eagerness to learn, and desire to continually grow as a firefighter earned him the respect of those who had the opportunity to work alongside him.

Our thoughts are with Kolby’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time, as well as his friends and fellow firefighters.

Out of respect for Kolby’s family, we ask that their privacy be respected in the days ahead.
