Emergency Medical Services are provided by both Crawford County EMS and some of the county fire departments. Law Enforcement is handled by the Crawford County Sheriffs Department as well as Pittsburg, Girard and Arma Police Departments. In Addition, there are numerous communities that utilize local marshals to assist in Law Enforcement Issues. Our Fire Department operates from three stations strategically located around the City of Pittsburg. Our boundaries are East to the Missouri State Line, North to 580th Avenue or McKay Street in Frontenac, South to the Cherokee County Line (US400, K171) and West to 180th Street (Approx. 4 Miles West of Pittsburg). As with many fire departments our mission is very much the same, protect the lives and property of the citizens within our district. Therefore we strive to improve our services and equipment on a continual basis. Over the last 10 years we have improved equipment and updated stations to fulfill that commitment to the community, and we continue to be dedicated to this same philosophy in the future.

Well now… Kansas don’t play either. 🌾🚔💀
We ain’t just lettin’ you fly down I-70 thinkin’ nobody’s watchin’. The Sunflower State’s got eyes in the sky now — Kansas highway drones keepin’ watch over I-70, I-35, Highway 54, and those long prairie stretches where folks suddenly think the speed limit becomes “just a suggestion.”
From Kansas City traffic all the way out to Dodge City, from Wichita rush hour to the open Flint Hills where the road stretches so straight you swear you could see tomorrow… that black-and-gold bird is always there.
You think you’re cruisin’ through Kansas with country music on, gas station coffee in the cupholder, windows cracked while the wheat fields roll by for miles? Nah, driver. That drone already clocked your speed before you even reached the next county line. 🚁
One minute you’re flyin’ across the prairie feelin’ free as the wind… next minute somebody’s gettin’ lit up outside Salina wondering how the highway patrol appeared out of absolutely nowhere.
And don’t let the peaceful scenery fool you either. Kansas roads may look calm, but folks out here drive like they’ve got somewhere important to be. Especially on I-70 where everybody’s either: A) trying to make it to Denver before midnight,
B) racing toward a BBQ spot they swear is “the best in the state,” or
C) absolutely convinced the left lane belongs to them personally. 💀
Drive east and it’s Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka, and nonstop interstate traffic.
Head south and you’re cutting through Wichita, Hutchinson, and wide-open farm roads.
Go west and suddenly it’s Hays, Garden City, Dodge City, and endless prairie under giant skies.
Head north and it’s Manhattan, Junction City, and highways where the wind pushes your truck harder than the gas pedal does.
Welcome to Kansas — where the skies are enormous, the sunsets look fake, the highways never end… and now the sky might be watching your speed too. 🌾🚔🚁
Drive smart, folks. Or don’t.
Kansas will see you either way.
