The history section contains details of the rich history and growth of our department, accompanied statistics from previous years. Visitors can also find information on our members, like their name, date joined, years of service, and occupation. We also have a list of our past Fire Chiefs and Fire Marshals, Honorary Firefighters, Mascots, and a Memorial honoring the fallen firefighters of our department. The motto of the KCVFD has always been "Protection," and we have a top ten all time attendance list that represents how important "Protection" is to our department.

Our recruiting page has information about joining the department, for example, how to apply and attendance requirements. In this section you can also find pertinent information, such as copies of our Standard Operation Procedures, Constitution, By-Laws, and our contact information.
