Thanks to our mutual aid partners from Covington Fire/EMS Department- Covington, KY and Wilder Fire Department for assisting us with pre-planning for some of our high hazard buildings. Covington’s specialized Tiller truck allows for extreme maneuverability in tight areas, where other truck companies would have difficulty accessing. Wilder’s short wheel based quint also allows for tight truck placement.

On duty crews performed mutual aid training, covering relay pumping. Thank you Central Campbell Fire District for hosting. This skill is utilized in long lay districts where fire hydrants are sparse.

Everyone has been affected by rising prices, including your Southgate firefighters. Last year, inflation made it more difficult than ever to purchase firefighting equipment and accomplish our mission. With your help, we were able to afford much-needed materials through our tireless fundraising. Some of you went even further, exceeding all expectations by becoming CHIEF Level Sponsors in 2025. Those donations made a massive difference. Please show your support for this department by supporting their local businesses and organizations. Please, Like and Share. Thank you!
