New Kent Fire-Rescue consists of six fire stations
located at strategic points around the county.
New Kent Fire-Rescue
New Kent Fire-Rescue was formed to respond to emergencies related to fire, emergency medical, rescue and hazardous material incidents. In addition, we have an active fire prevention program which provides public education to area day cares, our four county operated schools and active adult communities. The Fire Marshal’s Office provides plan reviews and daily fire code inspections to local businesses. Their department consists of career and volunteer staff who are both trained to respond to fire and medical calls and who are very proud to serve the County of New Kent.
