Brief Histories Of
Pleasure Ridge Park, South Dixie
Fire Departments (2nd Edition)
This is one of many sections that contain information, documents, letters, newspaper articles,
pictures, etc. They have been collected and arranged in chronological order. These items were
collected, organized and entered into a computerized database by Al Ring with the help of many
friends and fellow firefighters.
All graphics have been improved to make the resolution as good as possible, but the reader
should remember that many came from copies of old newspaper articles. This also applies to
other items such as documents, letters, etc. Credit to the source of the documents, photos, etc.
is provided whenever it was available. We realize that many items are not identified and regret
that we weren’t able to provide this information. As far as the newspaper articles that are not
identified, 99% of them would have to be from one of three possible sources. The CourierJournal, The Louisville Times or one of the Voice publications.
Please use this information as a reference tool only. If the reader uses any of the information for
any purpose other than a reference tool, they must get permission from the source.
If you have additional information on Dixie Suburban, Pleasure Ridge Park, South Dixie
departments that you would share, please contact me (Al Ring) at ringal@comcast.net.

Three Named Trustees of New Pleasure Ridge Fire District
Frank J. Murphy, Mrs. Alma Gray, and Grover C. Hollis yesterday were elected trustees of the new Pleasure
Ridge Park Fire District. A total of 165 votes was cast.
Murphy said the trustees probably will meet tomorrow night to organize and to select a chief. Besides the
salaried chief, the district will have four paid firemen and about 25 volunteers, he said.
The district is the first to be created in Kentucky under a comparatively recent State law to help rural communities get fire protection, said Daniel B. Boone, Jefferson County director of fire services.
The district was formed on order of County Court after 1,750 of the 2,800 eligible voters of the area signed a
petition.
The district trustees will be allowed to levy a tax of as much as 10 cents on each $100 of assessed value of
property in the district to finance the Fire Department.
Boone said County Fiscal Court had agreed to allow the district to use one of the County’s fire engines and
the former fire station at Pleasure Ridge.

bought
this
pumper. It eventually was hit
by a truckload of soldiers and
the front end was completely
demolished. It was sent back
to Seagrave in Columbus, Ohio
and rebuilt new from the dash
forward.
It looked almost
brand new. It was eventually
sold to a department in Southern Indiana.

As we enter the new Millennium, we have been looking forward to anticipate the future needs of the communities we serve. The district, over the past few years has been replacing its fleet of fire apparatus. Along with this,
our training division has constructed a multistory drill tower to provide more advanced training to our personnel. In 2004, we merged with the South Dixie Fire District and hired our first 24-hour career crew. We are doing this to better serve our community for the next fifty years.
