The Okolona Fire Protection District earned a Class 2 rating from the Insurance Services Office (ISO), according to the organization’s Public Protection Classification (PPC) system. The rating, which was upgraded from a "3", is the second-highest level on a scale of 1-10 and is recognized when home insurance rates are determined. It is based on such factors as water supply and distribution, fire department apparatus and equipment, distribution of fire companies, staffing and training of fire personnel, fire alarm processing, and fire prevention efforts.

Okolona is currently one of the largest districts in Jefferson County.

The district covers 33 square miles, stretching from the Watterson Expressway, south to the Bullitt County line. We operate four stations Two on Preston Highway, one on Orchard Avenue and one on Rangeland Road. In our district we service a variety of residential homes as well as interstate roads including Interstate 65, as well as commercial businesses including Ford Louisville Assembly Plant (Explorer Plant), United Parcel Service and General Electric.

The department is lead by Chief Richard Carlson. With 33 years of service, he leads a force of 53 Career Firefighters and 31 Volunteer Firefighters. The Chief reports to the Board of Trustees consisting of 3 Mayor appointed members, 2 Property elected representatives and 2 Firefighter elected members. The Board meets the first Thursday of every month at 7:00pm at our station #1. The public is always welcome to come see how the inner workings of a fire department is managed.

Along side Chief Carlson is his staff consisting of the following:

	8002 - Deputy Chief Chris Gosnell
	8003 - Assist. Chief Cary Luker
	8004 - Assist. Chief Fire Marshal Mike Allendorf
	8005 - Assist. Chief / Shift Chief Tab Baechle
