The Pleasure Ridge Park Fire Protection District (abbreviated PRPFD) is one of seventeen volunteer and combination departments that make up the Jefferson County Fire Service. This department covers 56 square miles (145 square kilometres) and serves the citizens of Pleasure Ridge Park and Valley Station in southwestern Jefferson County, Kentucky.
Prior to the formation of PRPFD in 1950, this region was covered by the Jefferson County Fire Department. In October 1950 this region became a taxing district; therefore changing the name to Pleasure Ridge Park Fire Protection District.
Pleasure Ridge Park Fire Protection District merged with South Dixie Fire District in 2004.
In 2012, PRPFD was one of 676 registered Fire Departments in the state of Kentucky according to the National Fire Department Census.
