The members of the North Oldham Fire Protection District (NOFD) proudly serve and protect a permanent population of 12,500 people as well as commuters and visitors, within a 47 square mile fire district. We operate from two stations, protecting a predominantly rural and residential area.
We protect the communities of Prospect, Goshen, and Skylight in Oldham County, Kentucky (approximately 15 miles northeast of Louisville, KY). The district consists primarily of residential areas, with a few retail strip centers, commercial office buildings, light industry and also includes a significant portion of the Ohio River. One of the most beautiful aspects of our district includes numerous thoroughbred horse farms and stables as well as typical agricultural farming operations. The district has experienced significant growth over the past 30 years, especially within the last 10 years. In 1951, the first year of operation for the North Oldham Volunteer Fire Department, the department answered 2 fire calls with it's 15 volunteer firemen and one fire engine. Fifty-nine years later, in 2010, NOFD responded to 459 calls for service.
