The LFD's roughly 600 members are divided into various bureaus and three platoon-shifts. The bureaus include Administrative services, Planning, Risk Management and Safety, Fire Prevention, Communications and Support Services, Training, Arson and Investigation, the Automotive Service Facility and Suppression. The former LFD Med Bureau merged with Jefferson County EMS early in 2005 to create Louisville Metro EMS. There are currently four districts within the City, each having a District Chief that oversees operations within his/her district. Fire suppression bureau personnel man 28 regular fire companies. All of the suppression companies have FF/EMT's or FF/Paramedics assigned to them. They respond to medical emergencies in support of the Louisville Metro EMS ambulance crews, often arriving prior to the ambulance as first responders. These members are well trained and prior to 2005, most were assigned to city ambulances for eight or twelve hours of each shift. Although firefighters are no longer assigned to ambulances in Louisville, they often ride along to assist LMEMS enroute to the hospital, when needed. The experience gained while working on urban, emergency ambulances makes Louisville firefighters more effective first responders to the medical incidents that take place in their first-alarm areas. LFD had the oldest working firehouse in the nation until 2009 when it was closed. Engine 7 (downtown), continuous operation from 1871-2009. About half of the current active houses were opened with horse drawn apparatus originally. The LFD also has a museum that is located behind E22-T4 (34 & Riverpark), if anyone is interested in visiting it, they can call HQ at 502-574-3701 to schedule an appointment.
