The Okolona Fire District is responsible Fire and EMS coverage for approximately 33 square miles of Jefferson County. The Okolona Fire Department District includes neighborhoods and businesses in the area of I-65 from the Watterson Expressway to the Bullitt County line. We operate out of three stations that provide the primary Fire and Emergency Medical Service response coverage to the citizens of the taxing district. In our District, we service a variety of residential homes, as well as interstate roads including I-65 and the Gene Snyder Freeway. We also service commercial businesses including Ford Louisville Assembly Plant (LAP), United Parcel Service (UPS) and General Electric (GE).
The Department is led by Chief Mark Little. The Chief reports to the Board of Trustees consisting of three Mayor-appointed members, two property-elected representatives and two firefighter-elected members. The Board meets the second Thursday of every month at 4:00 p.m. at Station #1. The public is always welcome to attend the monthly board meeting.
