The Stanford Fire Department is a twenty plus fire fighter department that meets or exceeds the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Kentucky State Marshall. The department provides fire protection within the city limits of Stanford and also provides assistance to the surrounding departments, as needed. Every fire fighter has completed the training required by the department, NFPA, the State of Kentucky and the Insurance Service Origination (ISO).

The department utilized a fleet of fire fighting equipment that includes two 1500 gallon per minute pumpers, a seventy-five foot aerial unit, an air service unit and an administrative service vehicle. It is a modern fire fighting fleet, with the units being equipped with such features as rescue and extraction equipment, property protection devices, smoke removal devices, large size hoses and other modern fire fighting devices.

The department is available with fire fighters on call twenty-four hours per day seven days per week (24/7). These fire fighters are dispatched via a state-of-the-art enhanced 911 communication center, that is also manned 24/7.

The department provides a codes and fire inspection service that keeps the public's property in a safe condition. These services, also, keep the departments pre-arrival and attack plans current.

The current ISO rating for the City of Stanford is 4. This is provided as a result of an up-to-date fire department and an adequate water system. The department is always working to provide the service and protection expected by continuing the training and by upgrading the equipment necessary.
