The community served by the South Oldham Fire Department is a densely populated area, surrounding Crestwood, Kentucky, which is 14 miles east of Louisville, KY. The Fire District covers approximately 25 square miles. A rapidly growing bedroom community represents our population of about 12,000 residents. The department protects many important assets of the community including a downtown district, growing residential and commercial areas, as well as a major interstate highway (I-71), which runs between Louisville and Cincinnati, and a busy CSX rail line. The department also protects five schools in the fire district, as well as providing mutual aid to several surrounding fire departments. The district is also in a holding pattern for air travel for Louisville International Airport, which is a major hub for United Parcel Service's Worldport.
Our Fire Station is staffed, by career and volunteer firefighters, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are in the area, we encourage you to stop by, say hello and meet us in person. We are proud of our Station and Department and would like to show you around.

A new law in Kentucky now requires homeowners with gas appliances to install carbon monoxide detectors in hallways. This law is now in effect, and it applies to most new homes. The state now requires homeowners to install at least one detector in a hallway near bedrooms. If you have a new home with all electric appliances, a detector is not needed unless the home has an attached garage. The new law also targets homeowners planning construction projects at existing homes. Anything requiring a building permit will also require a carbon monoxide detector. "On existing homes, the only time you're required to do that is if you ever take out a building permit. Something that you do at your home that requires a building permit would have to require a carbon monoxide detector." Officials encourage anyone with gas appliances to take precaution and get a detector even if it's not required. For more information on CO go to: http://www.carbon-monoxide-poisoning.com/sources.html
