Welcome

Welcome to the official website for KCTCS State Fire Rescue Training- Area 9. We hope you enjoy your visit with us. It is our goal to make your experience as helpful and informative as possible.

Area 9 is one of 14 regional offices of State Fire Rescue Training (SFRT) that serves the firefighters and rescue personnel of Kentucky with training and support. SFRT is a Division of the Kentucky Fire Commission within the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). SFRT is headed by Division Director Bryant Stiles, whose office is located at the System Headquarters of KCTCS in Versailles, KY.

SFRT Area 9 serves the Licking River Valley of Eastern Kentucky, midway between Lexington and Ashland, stretching from the Ohio River south to the Mountain Parkway. We serve 53 fire departments in the 11 counties of Bracken, Robertson, Mason, Lewis, Fleming, Bath, Montgomery, Menifee, Elliott, Morgan and Rowan.

Area 9 carries out its duties with a part-time staff of 16 field instructors, a full-time office coordinator, full-time testing and assessment coordinator and a full-time area coordinator. The area 9 office is located at the Maysville Community and Technical College-Rowan Campus in Morehead. There are nearly 200 years of combined firefighting experience within our instructor staff. Our program delivers approximately 500 classes per year with an average annual enrollment of over 5000 student contacts. Classes vary from 2 hours to 170 hours in length.

In addition to training, the Area 9 office is home to Kentucky's IFSAC Accredited Firefighter Certification program. All testing, data and administration of the program is handled through our office.

Again, we hope your stay with us is both informative and interesting. If you need further assistance or just can't find what you may be looking for, give us a call at 888-301-2946.
