Kingston Fire District- Rhode Island

Kingston Fire District- Rhode Island The Kingston Volunteer Fire Department is an all-volunteer, full-service fire department est. 1923

The Kingston Volunteer Fire Department is an all-volunteer, full-service fire department providing world-class fire protection, code enforcement, and emergency medical response services. These services are provided through a highly-trained, dedicated and adaptable force of volunteers known as the Kingston Volunteer Fire Company. The Kingston Volunteer Fire Department operates out of the Kingston F

ire District (KFD). The village of Kingston (approximately 1.6sq miles) is located in the northern portion of the Town of South Kingstown and is the site of the University of Rhode Island’s main campus. Many of the village center’s buildings are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. We have protected the college campus, Kingston residents and visitors of the Town of South Kingstown since July 1923. Unlike many volunteer fire departments, KFD is home to twelve resident firefighters, whom after extensive training make the firehouse their home. These young professionals enjoy living rent-free in return for maintaining “on-call” volunteer coverage, seven days a week. We are one of two fire districts serving the Town of South Kingstown. In coordination with the Union Fire District; we provide fire protection services for a full-time resident population of over 30,000 and transient student population of over 13,000. We encourage you to thoroughly review the public information that we provide as we are very proud of our organization, its transparency and professionalism. We have attempted to present the information necessary so that you could share our pride in this department, its wardens, fire officers and firefighters.

Some work by mutual aid at today’s fire.

Today, our crew provided mutual aid for a fire and effectively utilized specialized equipment to treat two cats, successfully reuniting them with their family. Great job Nichole and Dan

As many of you are aware, most roads in South Kingston are not passable. We currently have our station staffed with 8 firefighters and are still responding to incidents as they come in.
We have outfitted our 4x4 pickup truck that has 200 gallons of water and a pump, with as much equipment as possible as it is the only vehicle that might make it all the way into the scene. Right now it looks like we will have to respond on foot from the main roads but rest assured we will do everything we can to make it to you. Thank you in advance for your patience.
