Fire Prevention Tips
Always remain calm and try not to panic.
Before approaching a sick or injured person, check the area for any dangers to you or others. Do not put yourself in danger to help someone else as we do not need you to get injured as well.
In an emergency always call 9-1-1 first then follow the instructions of the emergency dispatcher.
Do not hang up the telephone until instructed as the dispatcher may need more information from you.
The county is in the heart of the Kentucky Bluegrass region along the Kentucky River. From its beginning days in the early 1800s, its heritage is preserved today and includes Civil War scrimmages, the gravesite of the late great-grandparents of department store founder J.C. Penney, the story of African American Anna Mac Clarke, and the evolution of bourbon.
