In addition to responding to fire and rescue calls. The Lake Jericho Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department also organizes and conducts additional classes and demonstrations, which are designed and over seen by certified and experienced fire service instructors certified and credentialed by not only the Commonwealth of Kentucky Fire Commission but the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress, and National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications this not only allows us to ensure state of the art and up-to-date fire and emergency services training for our team but provide the ability to promote fire safety and make the topic understandable and fun for our citizens young and old. There are several holiday programs, which have become new established traditions in our area. For example October being fire prevention week is filled with fire safety training and training demonstrations . During beggars night our team sets up a "A Place of Safety" to see the fire trucks escorted by friendly fire department "ghosts and goblins" handing candy out. December is filled with alot of holiday activities as well. This includes but not limited to our "Santa Run" throughout our communities subdivisions assisting Santa Claus with pre-planning for his Christmas Eve trip dispensing treats and holiday cheer while riding on a fire truck.
