The City of King Fire Department is a municipal combination department consisting of a Fire Chief, three Assistant Chief,  Battalion Chief, twenty-two career firefighters, approximately fifteen part-time firefighters, and an administrative assistant. We also have several groups that offer support services to our organization. Our members are highly trained and possess numerous state and national certifications.

We respond to an average of twenty-five hundred calls a year. Our current fire insurance rating with the North Carolina Department of insurance is 3/9E in 2018 and again in 2023.
