Henderson County Fire Department, established in 1978, is responsible for providing fire protection to the entire Henderson County area outside the city limits of Lexington and Scotts Hill. With a team of 190 dedicated volunteer firefighters, the department operates eleven fire stations, covering a vast area of 550 square miles and serving a population of 16,500 people. Their primary objectives are to safeguard life and property from fire hazards, while also focusing on educating the public about fire safety and prevention.

Volunteer opportunities are available for individuals aged 18 and above, with a junior firefighter program in place for those between 15 and 18 years old. Training is a crucial aspect of the department's operations, with new recruits required to complete a 64-hour basic firefighting course and ongoing monthly training sessions. Personal protective equipment is provided to firefighters, including gear such as coats, pants, helmets, gloves, and hoods. To support their operations, the department relies on fundraising efforts and community donations, as their annual budget only covers a portion of their operating costs.
