Recently, naloxboxes were installed outside all 21 Louisville Fire stations and at the fire department in Shively, giving people access to naloxone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, is an opioid overdose reversal medication that saves lives.
According to Kentucky’s Drug Overdose Fatality Report, nearly 500 Jefferson County residents died from a drug overdose in 2023.
“Not only are we in the emergency response business, but we are also in the prevention business,” said Louisville Fire Chief Brian O’Neill. “Our firefighters are also emergency medical technicians. As a new firefighter, you are far more likely to be administering Narcan before you actually drag a hose line into a house fire. It’s a terrible problem that knows no boundaries. Everyone is susceptible to opioid addiction and we want to make sure we are there, with no judgement, to try to help as many people as we can.”
To date, there are now more than 100 naloxbox locations across Louisville Metro. This effort is made possible through funding from Vital Strategies and the Kentucky Overdose Response Effort (KORE).
If you or someone you know is facing challenges with substance use, remember that you are not alone. For more information, please call 551-8590.

Starting January 1, 2025, all Kentuckians must undergo a vision screening to renew their driver’s license. Multiple states have adopted mandatory vision screenings to ensure drivers have the visual acuity required to operate a vehicle safely.
This new requirement, enacted during the 2021 General Assembly, aims to promote highway safety by ensuring that all drivers maintain good vision throughout their driving career. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is responsible for administering the vision requirement law for drivers seeking to renew their license. Drivers have two options for vision screenings when renewing their license. Click on the link below for additional details. https://drive.ky.gov/Drivers/Documents/KCTC_fact%20sheet_public_.pdf
