The Mayfield Fire Department and Mayfield-Graves County Emergency Medical Services consists of 39 full time members with 2 code enforcement officers and one administrative assistant. The Mayfield Fire Department operates the city fire department and the city/county ambulance service. There are 39 certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and 17 Paramedics. Members of the fire department receive an initial 400 hours of training, with 100 hours yearly in-service, thereafter. The EMTs obtain an additional 24 hours every two years of continuing education. These hours keep firefighters and EMTs updated in all aspects of firefighting and medical training.

All members receive training in hazardous materials, response, first responder training, infectious diseases, ropes, ladders, fire streams, pump operations, personal protective equipment, and vehicle extrication, just to name a few. Some members are trained in special areas, such as arson investigation.

There are 5 members of the department who are certified Kentucky fire training instructors, 2 members who are certified American Red Cross first aid and CPR instructors, and 2 American Heart CPR instructors.

In July, 1998, the Mayfield Fire Department acquired two IRIS cameras. These cameras are used to detect fire hot spots and any extreme heat source. The IRIS cameras are very beneficial tools that aid the fire department's efforts to save lives and property.
