About Mayfield Professional Fire Fighters

Personnel

The Mayfield Fire Department (MFD) consist of 42 full-time members, one administrative fire/ems training officer,  one administrative assistant chief & safety officer, and one fire chief & ems director. The department operates the city's fire department and the city/county ambulance service. All firefighters are also Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) many of which are certified Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMTs) and Paramedics.

Training and Instructors

Members of the fire department receive an initial 400 hours of training, with 100+ hours yearly in-service training thereafter. The EMTs obtain an additional 24 hours every two years in continuing education. These hours keep firefighters and EMTs updated in all aspects of firefighting and medical training.

Additionally, the brave men and women receive training in hazardous materials, response, first responder training, infectious diseases, ropes, ladders, fire streams, pump operations, personal protective equipment, and vehicle extrication, just to name a few. Some members are also further trained in special areas such as arson investigation.

Currently, there are seven members of the department who are certified Kentucky fire training instructors, and 4 American Heart Association CPR instructors.

Stations and Equipment

The Mayfield Fire Department operates three fire stations in the city, with department members on duty 24/7, to better serve the community of Mayfield and Graves County. The stations are located on West Broadway, South 10th Street and North 6th Street. There are four firefighting equipment vehicles, one of which is an aerial ladder truck, seven advanced life support ambulances, one all-terrain vehicle and two rescue units. The department has a third class (CLASS 3) fire insurance rating, which is exceptional for a city our size.


Programs

The Mayfield Fire Department, Graves County EMS and IAFF #L3241 are involved in many aspects of fire prevention and first aid training, and offer fire prevention and safety programs to many organizations

Child Fire Safety House - Since 1995, the Mayfield Fire Department has worked with area schools in educating children about fire safety - what to do in the event of a home fire/emergency. The Child Fire Safety House allows them to actually "live" the emergency situation, and they learn by doing what's right through the assistance of the Fire Safety House. Our high-tech Fire Safety House can simulate a house fire, tornado touch-down, hurricane and earthquake events. Each year, over 1500 kids file through the house with its state-of-the-art special effects and escape routes, leaving with a better knowledge and understanding of a emergency event.
