Chief's Welcome
Welcome to the Covington Fire Department.
As Fire Chief, it is my honor to serve the citizens of Covington alongside the dedicated men and women of this department. Since beginning my career here in 1998, I’ve had the privilege of growing both personally and professionally within this organization—from my first days as a firefighter to now leading the department as Chief.
The Covington Fire Department is built on a strong foundation of service, integrity, and community. We are committed to protecting life, property, and the environment through exceptional emergency response, fire prevention, public education, and continuous training. Every member of our team plays a vital role in delivering the highest level of care and professionalism to those we serve.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our department. I invite you to explore our services, meet our team, and see how we are working every day to keep Covington safe and resilient. We look forward to the continued growth of our city and the opportunity to serve you.
Sincerely,
Joe Doss
