Recently our Chief attended a Cave Rescue Class in Alabama hosted by the Huntsville Cave Rescue Unit. A four day class of classroom, rope skills and cave scenarios to establish a better understanding of the demands that cave emergencies require.

On the morning of the 24th, we were honored to host the Kentucky Brotherhood during their 400-mile journey across the state. These men and women put their resolve and bodies to the test as they travel nearly 100 miles by bike each day.

We are appreciative of the awareness that is spread due to this group of first responder’s dedication. While they traveled into several different stations between Paducah and Bardstown to speak and spread stories, we are reminded of those who we have lost in the Line of Duty. We were honored to have our own Chief speak, along with our KSP partners and those within the ride.

We continue to remember those who, while they may not still be with us, have cemented a place in the Fire/EMS/Police service due to the people they have served.

Again, we thank the Kentucky Brotherhood for stopping by in our beautiful city. Your mission is one of full honor and is a reminder of the bonds that outstretch the fire station walls.

Strong work from the initial arriving unit. Aggressive attacks set the tone and build successful outcomes.
Today marks the third structure fire for HCFD in a two week span. Remember to check your smoke detectors and plan your way out of the house to your meeting place.

No AI here, just beautiful trucks celebrating a beautiful day. Happy Independence Day in the best country on earth.

We loved seeing everyone that stopped by to see us at the KOA prior to the fireworks. As we progress through the night, celebrate safely. And remember, don’t throw your fireworks away tonight immediately after firing them. Let’s keep the fire in the sky, not the trash can.

We have been out and about lately in addition to the increase of emergency responses due to heat, storms and summer traveling. Horse Cave Firefighters were able to host The Hart of Autism for a Station Tour and Fire Safety discussion. Also Members attended a career day allowing small group meets with ages 4-17 over fire safety in the home and what a career as a Firefighter looks like.

Any questions on fire safety in your home? Or would you like to take a look at the trucks and equipment? Reach out to a firefighter or send us a message! Stay safe and stay cool this week.

Yesterday HCFD was alerted for a possible structure fire on W Main st. Units were advised a HCPD officer observed smoke while on patrol and was evacuating the home. Munfordville Fire and Cave City Fire were requested for mutual aid and units arrived to find smoke showing from the attic vents.

Firefighters entered and located a fire in the attic above the kitchen area of the home. Due to construction and configuration of the home, firefighters created access through a hole in the roof for extinguishment efforts. The fire was controlled with minor damage and no injuries.

Thank you for your patience as W Main was shut down during the duration of the fire scene. We appreciate our neighboring departments and all other agencies that assisted during the emergency.

We’re on cloud 9 anticipating our community outing tomorrow. Look to the sky as we have firefighters rappelling down, a first time public event for HCFD. We’re roping down at 9:30 and again at 4:00 for two chances to catch us (not literally…)

We’re closer than we’ve ever been! See the full day of scheduled events. Come watch your firefighters in action.

Ever seen videos of a firefighter on a roof during a fire? Nope, they’re not checking for leaks. Firefighters will complete a task called Vertical Ventilation during fires. This consist of cutting a hole in the roof to allow the heat, smoke and gases trapped in a structure to exit more quickly and efficiently. This has to be coordinated with other fire ground activities and only is beneficial during specific instances. When accomplished it greatly increases conditions in the structure to help any victims, speed up search teams and allow fire attack crews to move quicker to extinguish the fire. In 7 days we’ll have a prop to demonstrate this tactic at the event! Come watch your firefighters train to better serve you.
