The Villages of Kingston and Greenwood are strong vibrant communities. We have seen unprecedented growth in both commercial and residential development during the past decade. Our District is seeing increased development and new housing, with hundreds of new residents moving here each year.

That kind of growth brings its own unique challenges. The Kingston District Fire Department tackles these challenges with a creative, modern approach that embrace best practices, evidence-based decision-making, long-range planning, and inner agency/department cooperation.

Our initiatives include: 
• Expanding our membership to sixty five members, one of the largest in the Annapolis Valley.
• Reducing residential fires through our educational programs.
• More efficient deployment of apparatus and firefighters through improved training.
• Establishing Standard Operating Procedures and new firefighter training programs.
• Acquiring the best apparatus and equipment to serve the people of the district while ensuring firefighter safety at all times.
• Fostering a close working relationship with RCMP, Emergency Health Services, 14 Wing Greenwood and neighboring Fire Departments.
• Constantly improving our response to any emergency through research, best practices and post analysis of all incidents.
