West Licking Joint Fire District through the years has always had excellent equipment and stations. In 1982, when the West Licking Joint Fire District was created, the Fire District acquired from Pataskala Fire Department the Fire Station located on Jefferson St. in Pataskala. This was Station 1 until 2003, when the new Station 1 was built, located on Broad St. in Pataskala. Since 1982, WLJFD and the Village of Kirkersville shared the building located on Fourth St. in Kirkersville. Then in 1998, WLJFD bought out Kirkersville’s share, and staffed it 24/7 in 1999. Station 3 was built in 1987; it is located on Mink St. in Pataskala. In July 2016, WLJFD opened Station 4, located on Taylor Road in Reynoldsburg. Station 5 is a new construction and held a Grand Opening in October 2018; it is located on Morse Road in Jersey Township. Our newest addition to the District is Station 6, formerly the Refugee Canyon Fire District, located in Hebron.
