​   The Department takes great pride in the training opportunities provided to them, and are always adapting to the changes presented to the fire service. Each member must successfully complete a sixteen hour, sixty-four hour and "live" burn, to be eligible to enter an "IDLH" (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) environment. Until then, a member can participate in calls for service at a minimum level and at the discretion of the OIC (Officer In Charge). 


   In 2012, the Kingston Springs Fire Department ranked in the top 15 in the state of Tennessee for most training hours completed by its personnel. This includes hours completed by much larger agencies such as Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville Fire Departments.
