Our Story

Washington Volunteer Fire Department is a proud volunteer fire department serving the Washington, Kentucky community and the surrounding Mason County area. With a history that dates back to 1786, the department represents a long tradition of local service, responsibility, and hometown commitment. Led by Fire Chief Darrell Kalb, the department is staffed by dedicated community volunteers who answer the call for fire protection, emergency response, and public safety support when their neighbors need them most.

From its station on Green Street in Maysville, the department has remained deeply connected to the people it serves, not only through emergency response but also through community involvement, public events, and ongoing support of local needs. The department's visible presence at local activities, its assistance during community events, and its continued investment in equipment and protective gear show a team that is active, prepared, and committed to serving with professionalism and pride.

Washington Volunteer Fire Department is more than a fire station — it is a group of neighbors working together to protect lives, property, and the community spirit that defines the area. Whether responding to emergencies, supporting public events, or strengthening local partnerships, the department continues to reflect the values of service, trust, and dedication that have shaped its history for generations.
