North Oldham Fire District

Our department is a fire protection district funded by a small property tax levied on real estate and personal property. By utilizing a mix of paid and volunteer firefighters and EMT's, we are able to provide a high quality service in a highly cost-effective manner. Our ISO Public Protection Class is 5 for all properties within 1000' (feet) of a fire hydrant and 9 for properties beyond 1000' feet of a hydrant. The ISO rating is used by many insurance companies to determine the premium paid by you, to insure your home or business against fire. We continue to work towards lowering the ISO rating so your insurance costs are reduced.

In fact, our firefighters are currently training and working to improve our capability for rural water supply in the areas without fire hydrants. Our goal is to exceed the ISO requirements and reduce the class 9 areas as much as possible, to provide those property owners with much lower insurance premiums. When you stop and think about it, the fire district tax is the only one you pay that "gives you a return" for your investment in lower insurance premiums. NOFD's members are proud of the high quality service we provide for you at such a low cost.
