What a great day for our department and community! Today at 11:00 a.m. a groundbreaking ceremony was held to officially celebrate the beginning of the renovation of our existing fire station which will include the addition of a new fire truck bay.

This is a long awaited project and has been nearly 15 years in the making. We are thankful for the leadership of the Load VFD Board of Trustees, members of the Load VFD, and the Greenup County Fiscal Court for making this project possible. Along with these entities, several other agencies and people have played a significant role in helping us get to where we are today. Without the support of everyone who has ever make any kind of contribution whether that would be monetary or by volunteering time, we would not be where we are today.

We are excited to get this project underway and can’t wait until our new facility is complete!
