Fire Safety Week 2026 is here. This years theme is lithium-ion battery safety for everyday devices like smartphones, laptops, e-bikes, scooters, and power tools. Learn more on this topic at www.nfpa.org

This is also a good time to remind the community of a few basic fire safety tools that still save lives.

Test your smoke alarms. Do it monthly and replace the batteries at least once a year. If an alarm is more than 10 years old, replace the whole unit.

Have a home escape plan and practice it with your family. Know two ways out of every room and pick a meeting place outside.

Be careful in the kitchen. Stay in the room when you’re cooking, especially if you’re frying or using the stove.

Keep flammable items away from heat sources.

Check heating equipment and furnaces before the colder weather sets in.

Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn.

Simple steps make a difference. Pass it on.

Sincerely, Kenton Fire Department Local 563

If you need to stop at the firehouse and talk to anyone, PLEASE be courteous and use the front door, ring the doorbell, and a crew member will be with you shortly.

This is just a friendly reminder to everybody, anyone is welcome to stop at the firehouse BUT we kindly would like to remind everyone that this is not only our place of work but also our home for 24 hours at a time. We prefer you not let yourself in and wander the station to find us. If the bay doors are open we request you not wander in there as well as trucks come and go multiple times a day responding to emergencies and we do not want to risk anyone being injured or ran over.

There are times we may be on a call and can’t be at the door. If it’s an emergency dial 911. If it isn’t an emergency feel free to call the station at (419)673-1235 and we will get back with you ASAP. Thank you all for being respectful and understanding!

We had a very special day at Kenton Fire yesterday, we were happy to celebrate our new E72 with Jon Cross and Governor Mike DeWine! We cannot thank all of the people involved in the process of making this truck be a possibility enough. Without Jon Cross continued efforts this truck would not be sitting here today.

Another special thank you to all the faces that showed up yesterday to celebrate with us!

This new truck is going to be a game changer for our community. We’re seeing 31 years of development and improvements in this fire apparatus. Keep following along the next few days for another walk around post explaining all of the benefits and improvements on our new E72.

Yesterday A shift did what will most likely be the last weekly check of Engine 72. For many members of the KFD Engine 72 holds a special place in their hearts. Fighting fire in Hardin County since being delivered, Engine 72, a 1995 Ford built by E-ONE, was a frontline fire apparatus until 2015 when Engine 71 was purchased. Although Engine 72 was moved at that time to being the second due truck and main response for mutual aid, its job was far from over. Even in recent years when other units have been out of service, Engine 72 has been the primary pumper for residential fires and a crucial support pumper. Engine 72 remained a hard working and reliable engine throughout its 31 years of protecting the citizens of Kenton and Hardin county. All good things must come to an end unfortunately, and as our new truck comes wearing the same unit number, it has large shoes to fill and a legacy to continue. We look forward to this bittersweet new chapter in the history of KFD!

We have BIG things coming to the KFD soon. Thank you to Midwest Fire for providing a video of our incoming truck to give everyone a sneak peak 👀
