Mission
To preserve lives and property in the Fort Knox community by providing first class service and support to Soldiers, Family, Civilian employees and guests, directed at prevention and control of fires, accidents and other emergencies while maintaining the highest standard of professionalism, efficiency and effectiveness.
Answering the call since 1918!
The Fort Knox Fire Protection Team is committed to excellence.
Fort Knox is about people; great Soldiers, outstanding citizens, and wonderful families that form a bond to provide for the nations defense. Yet the post is much more than gunnery ranges, training areas, tank- filled motor pools and maintenance bays, it is also home to the federal governments most professional fire protection family, Fort Knox Fire and Emergency Service. The fire department, making over 2,000 runs a year, is responsible for providing fire and emergency protection for more than 109,069 acres including the famous Gold Bullion Depository.
Remember... FIRST IN, LAST OUT!
