Am I served by the Fredericktown Community Fire District? This is a great question that we sometimes field in the public at events and during public safety presentations. Here is a map of the district as it is laid out.
The two red dots represent our firehouses, the first being in Fredericktown (built 1980) and the second being in Pike Township on the property of the township house (built in 2013).
We encompass this area of Knox County which makes us the second largest fire district. In addition we cover a small portion of Perry Township in Richland County that is more readily accessible by the FCFD.
Does this mean the FCFD only provides services in this area? No, this is just our primary and “first due” area for our department. In addition to this, we provide mutual-aid to adjoining departments in Knox County, Richland County, and Morrow County when requested. Under agreements with the State of Ohio, we have resources that can be requested anywhere in the case of a large scale disaster.
