Frequently Asked Questions
If my smoke detector
goes off in the middle of the night, what should I do?
You should roll out of bed
and crawl to the nearest exit and leave the building. Call 911 and notify the
dispatcher your address and you need the Fire Department. Once you are out of
the house stay out! Today, a home can burn down in less than 4 minutes; you may
be unable to escape a burning home in less than one minute. Don't take chances.
Get out as quickly as you can and call 911 from a neighbor's home.
Sometimes I see fire
hydrants leaking or caps missing. Why doesn't the Fire Department correct these
problems?
Fire hydrants are
inspected twice a year by Fire fighters. The Louisville Water Company performs
repair and installation of fire hydrants. If you have questions concerning a
fire hydrant, please call the Louisville Water Company at 502-569-3600.
How do I get a copy of
a fire report?
The fire report is a
public document and can be obtained by anyone. Reports are available at your
Jefferson County Fire Department. You will need to know the date and time of the
fire and the correct address where the incident occurred.
