What a great Halloween! Main Street was packed tonight, and the crews from Stanford Fire Department and Lincoln County EMS had a good time handing out candy outside the station and seeing all the awesome costumes. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and helped make it such a fun night for our community. Don’t forget to set your clocks back tonight for daylight saving time and change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors! Have a great rest of your evening. 🚒🚑🎃⏰

We had a great time out at First Southern Veterans Park for Halloween at the Park tonight. It was a beautiful evening, and we really enjoyed seeing such a big turnout, handing out treats, and catching up with everyone who stopped by our table.

The Stanford Fire Department has earned a new Public Protection Classification of Class 3 from the Insurance Services Office (ISO), improving from its previous Class 4 rating.

The department’s overall score rose from 60.17 to 75.50 points. The improvement reflects stronger performance in emergency communications, fire department operations, and community risk reduction, while maintaining a strong water supply rating.

ISO ratings measure a community’s fire protection capabilities and are used by many insurance companies as one factor when setting property insurance premiums.

This improvement is the result of hard work by our firefighters, support from the city, and ongoing investments in training, equipment, and operations. A Class 3 rating is a strong result for a community our size and reflects our continued commitment to high quality fire protection.

Property owners with questions about their insurance rates should contact their insurance agent or company.

Fire Prevention Week is October 4–10, and this year’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower.” We all have more rechargeable devices in our homes than ever before, from phones and tools to toys, e-bikes, and scooters, and we encourage everyone to take a few minutes this week to think about how those devices are charged and used. A little attention now can prevent a serious fire later. If you have a question, call us at (606) 365-4501.

A huge thank you to the Public Safety Pathway class at Lincoln County High School. This morning these students hosted breakfast for our on duty first responders. That kind of thoughtfulness does not go unnoticed. It means a lot when the next generation takes time to look after the people who are out there every day serving Lincoln County. These young students already understand what public service looks like. We appreciate you. Keep up the great work…the future looks bright.
