Our History
The Burlington Volunteer Fire Department started in 1943 from a band of concerned Burlington citizens who wanted to reduce the impact of fires and provide care quickly for injured and ill people in the Burlington area. In the early 1980's, the Burlington Volunteer Fire Department became an independent taxing district organized under Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) Chapter 75, which allowed the department to collect property taxes to provide fire and emergency medical Services (EMS).
