Middletown, Kentucky, Fire Atlas

Louisville and Jefferson County Information Consortium for Middletown Fire Protection District

This atlas is used by the Middletown Fire Protection District as a first responders guide. In January 2003, the City of Louisville and Jefferson County merged into one government body, the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government. Residents inside the boundaries of the former City of Louisville and the suburban service area are protected by separate fire districts. The suburban area of Jefferson County spans more than 300 square miles and is serviced by over 1,100 volunteer and career firefighters.

Fire personnel use map books in their vehicles to help them efficiently respond to calls. Each district is responsible for updating the books that cover its jurisdiction. The old map book areas were unique, based on physical features that cover large variances of area, and contained outdated information, especially in the rapidly developing eastern section of Jefferson County.

In 2006, the Middletown Fire Protection District automated atlas production and updating, designing a new grid system that would eventually cover all of Jefferson County, cross fire district boundaries, have an alphanumeric reference, accommodate 8 ½-by-11-inch page printing, and be based on Louisville and Jefferson County Information Consortium data.

After Middletown adopted the new grid system in 2006, six neighboring fire districts started using it. These fire districts are also working together to map private hydrants, keyboxes, and sprinkler connections, which are shown in the atlas.
