Elkton Fire District Area Membership Information:
The city of Elkton offers an annual membership fee program for service to out-of-town residents outside the city limits, but inside the Elkton Volunteer Fire Department (EVFD) service area.

Residents of the EVFD service area who are not residents of the City of Elkton city limits may pay to the city an annual membership fee in the amount of $45.00 per dwelling or farm per year. A farm is defined as one or more contiguous parcels. The membership year typically runs from October 1 through September 30. For more information, contact Elkton City Hall at 270-265-9877. 

Participation in the Elkton Volunteer Fire Department membership program shall entitle the member to a waiver of the fees for responses to out-of-town fires and emergencies as identified in this section. If you choose not to pay the membership fee and the Elkton Volunteer Fire Department responds to a fire or other emergency on the property of a nonresident nonmember, the City shall charge the following fire run fees for services rendered:

(1) Up to five hundred dollars ($500) for single family residential units; utility occupancies of two thousand (2,000) or fewer square feet; assembly and business occupancies having a capacity which does not exceed one hundred (100) persons; equipment; vehicles; and grass or woods fires; and
