Calls of the Covington Fire Department

Each year, the Covington Fire Department responds to, on average, over 250 calls for service. Those calls include everything from structure fires, to hazardous materials calls, to brush fires, vehicle fires and mutual aid calls, where we assist not only other fire departments in our surrounding area, but also assist other city of Covington agencies, such as the Covington Rescue Squad, Covington Police Department and others.

Below are calls for the current month.
