Tests are tough. And when you're training to become an EMT, there are plenty of them!

We're proud to announce that ALL Hopkinsville Fire students passed their NREMT EMT exam on their FIRST attempt! This accomplishment is a true testament to their hard work, determination, and commitment to serving our community.

A big shoutout also goes to our instructors, Paramedics Melinda Young and Katie Peek, whose dedication to preparing the next generation of EMTs plays a tremendous role in their success.

Today, Captain Nunley delivered an informative presentation to Hopkinsville Fire Department leadership on large-scale data centers, their unique operational considerations, and the emergency response strategies associated with these facilities.

As technology continues to evolve, so does the fire service. Much like the advancements in lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles, emerging technologies and modern infrastructure present new opportunities for firefighters to expand their knowledge and enhance their preparedness. At the Hopkinsville Fire Department, our commitment is simple: stay educated, remain proactive, and ensure our firefighters are prepared to respond safely and effectively to the evolving needs of our community. By continually evaluating industry trends and emerging technologies, we strengthen our ability to serve and protect the citizens of Hopkinsville.

Great job, Captain Nunley, for taking the initiative to research this topic, share your knowledge, and contribute to the continued professional development and operational readiness of our department!

🎄🎁 Christmas For Kids 2026 is officially underway! 🎁🎄

Once again, we're calling on our incredible community to SHOW UP BIG and help us make Christmas morning a little more magical for children in need!

This year, 50 local families, vetted by the Hopkinsville Salvation Army, are counting on the generosity of our community to help make their Christmas wishes come true.

By adopting one child, multiple children, or an entire family, you're doing so much more than providing gifts under a tree. You're creating memories, spreading joy, and making sure these children experience the magic of Christmas morning.

Want to be part of the magic? Contact Deputy Chief Chad Sivills by phone or email today to adopt a family in need!
