The Kiowa Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1952. It was officially recognized as a special district in March 1983. At its formation, the District was comprised of volunteer personnel who protected the Town of Kiowa and unincorporated areas of Elbert County. The District covers a 324 square mile area of north central Elbert County; the Town of Kiowa and Kiowa C-2 School District lie within the boundaries of the District.
Today, Kiowa Fire Protection District is comprised of both paid and volunteer staff. They all receive the same level of training and certification to maintain a high standard of service.
The District continues to assess and improve services to meet the community's needs and maintains transparency and accountability in operations and financial management.
The Kiowa Fire Protection District stands proud in protecting citizens of the District and surrounding areas.
