The Piperton Fire Department serves the City of Piperton and surrounding area of District 3 in Fayette County covering a combined area of approximately 27 square miles. We are a combination department with a full-time paid Chief, 1 full time Lieutenant, and 6 full time firefighters, and 20 volunteers. We respond to all emergency calls to include fires, medical emergencies, motor vehicle crashes, hazardous material leaks, and any other type of rescue or life safety issues. We operate 2 pumpers, a quick response medical unit, a rescue squad, and a brush fire/utility truck.  Each apparatus is capable of responding to various types of emergencies.

The district is mostly composed of rural area, but there are many residential neighborhoods and an industrial area that houses Alpha Corporation (AOC) among other businesses. Interstate 269 runs through Piperton as well as State Highways 57 and 72

Our city has an ISO rating of 3 which corresponds to our fire-fighting capabilities and training as well as our water system infrastructure.

The passage of legislation to require residential sprinkler systems in addition to already requiring sprinkler systems in commercial and industrial building will help insure that our growth does not overtax our department or city emergency response resources. The sprinkler systems are designed for life safety protection, but have been shown to mitigate property damage also. This helps protect the lives of our citizens and the lives of those that work in our city, and also protects the investments of home and business owners that make-up our community.
