Hello and thank you for visiting the Petersburg Fire Protection District website. My name is William E. Birkle
but most people know me as Bill, and I am the Fire Chief of the Petersburg Fire Protection District. I have been a member of the department since 1967 and have been chief since 1977.
We are a fully volunteer organization with about 20 Fire and EMS professionals that provide a vital service to our community. We provide Public Education Programs, Fire, Rescue and EMS services. Our members participate in state and local fire service organizations and train constantly to maintain their skills and to keep abreast of the latest developments in firefighting and EMS procedures. In our efforts to provide the best fire protection available to the district we have fire engine and a brush truck equipped with compressed air foam which is considered the latest
technology in firefighting.
Our department needs to be involved in our community. I invite you to allow us to become a part of your
activities, whether those are at school, church, club, home or business.
If you are interested in becoming a member of our department I encourage you to take a few moments to investigate the benefits of becoming a volunteer member of our department, if you are 18 years of age or older you can contact us at 859-586-8030 or at petersburg@fuse.net. We train on Wednesday nights at 7:00 and have our business meetings the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM and anyone interested in being a member or helping the organization in any way you are welcome to attend.
Thank You
Bill Birkle
