The Karns Volunteer Fire Department has been proudly serving an area of 65 square miles in four communities in Northwest Knox County since 1978. There are four fire stations strategically located in Karns, Ball Camp, Hardin Valley and Solway, all on the outskirts of Knoxville, Tennessee. We provide fire protection, emergency medical first-response, hazardous materials response, rescue support, non-emergency public assists and public education for over 40,000 residents. We have occasionally received grants and disbursements by the county and state but we receive no tax dollars for funding of the Fire Department. Subscriptions are due in January of each year.
