The building features five white garage bay doors for fire engines, a central stone arch entrance labeled '804', and the words 'Flatwoods Fire Department' prominently displayed above the garage doors. An American flag flies from a pole in front of the building

MISSION STATEMENT

As first responders, the Flatwoods Fire Department protects lives and property in the City of Flatwoods, Kentucky, during fires, disasters, and any emergency as required. We aim to improve public safety through fire prevention, investigation, and education programs. Being a volunteer fire department drives us to be dedicated, educated, and proactive. Our citizens depend on us, and we will not waver when the need arises.

A group of approximately twenty people, including firefighters and staff members, pose for a photo in front of a fire engine inside a fire station bay. They are dressed in uniforms and casual attire, standing in a well-lit area with a white ceiling and gray floor.

DEDICATION

BRAVERY

Courage is the foundation of our character. Bravery is the ability to overcome fear through fortitude, instinct, compassion for others, and training.
