The Kingston Volunteer Fire Department is an all-volunteer, full-service fire department est. 1923

The Kingston Volunteer Fire Department is an all-volunteer, full-service fire department providing world-class fire protection, code enforcement, and emergency medical response services. These services are provided through a highly-trained, dedicated and adaptable force of volunteers known as the Kingston Volunteer Fire Company. The Kingston Volunteer Fire Department operates out of the Kingston Fire District (KFD). The village of Kingston (approximately 1.6sq miles) is located in the northern portion of the Town of South Kingstown and is the site of the University of Rhode Island’s main campus. Many of the village center’s buildings are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. We have protected the college campus, Kingston residents and visitors of the Town of South Kingstown since July 1923. Unlike many volunteer fire departments, KFD is home to twelve resident firefighters, whom after extensive training make the firehouse their home. These young professionals enjoy living rent-free in return for maintaining “on-call” volunteer coverage, seven days a week. We are one of two fire districts serving the Town of South Kingstown. In coordination with the Union Fire District; we provide fire protection services for a full-time resident population of over 30,000 and transient student population of over 13,000. We encourage you to thoroughly review the public information that we provide as we are very proud of our organization, its transparency and professionalism. We have attempted to present the information necessary so that you could share our pride in this department, its wardens, fire officers and firefighters.

On the one-year anniversary of his passing, the Guilford Fire Department pauses to remember Firefighter Mike Terrio. Mike’s dedication to the fire service, his friendship, and the impact he had on those who served alongside him will never be forgotten. Today, we honor his memory and keep his family, friends, and fellow firefighters in our thoughts. Rest easy Mike, you are deeply missed.

K9 teams remain on scene and will continue to conduct an additional secondary sweep of the building as a precaution.

Please continue to refrain from responding to the area while this work is completed. South County Hospital remains on diversion at this time.
