The Olpe Fire Department is located in southern Lyon County KS. Fire District #1 covers the south west portion of Lyon County. In addition to protecting the City of Olpe and Fire District #1, we also provide mutual aid with all fire departments in Lyon County and to any agency that needs our assistance.


Our goal is to protect the citizens we serve from threats against life and property, to develop and train to increase knowledge and skill, while showing pride, dedication, courage, respect, kindness, patience, and compassion. 

We are blessed to have a roster of over 20 firefighters, E.M.T. and Paramedics, both men and women, actively serving the department.  We respond to more than 100 calls per year ranging from fires, vehicle accidents, medical emergencies, rescues, and public service calls.


We are dispatched through the Lyon County Emergency Communication Center (LCECC) located in Emporia, KS.
