Livingston Parish Fire Protection District 4

08/18/2026

We would like to thank State Representative Kellee Hennessy Dickerson and Senator Valerie Hodges for attending our Board Meeting last night.

Representative Dickerson presented House Resolution No. 27, commending and recognizing Livingston Parish Fire Protection District 4, and more specifically, our Training Division, Keesler Fly and Frank Dellucky, for their outstanding work in establishing the first high school firefighter training program in the State of Louisiana.

We could not be more proud of this program and the 26 graduates who have successfully completed the program to date. Even more so, we are incredibly proud of our Training Division and every member of our department who has played a role in making this program such a success.

This program is a true example of what can be accomplished when our community, fire service, and schools work together to create opportunities for our young people.

Thank you to Representative Dickerson, Senator Hodges, and all of the Livingston Parish legislative delegates for your support and assistance along the way. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Livingston Parish Public Schools for their continued partnership and teamwork.

It is an honor for Livingston Parish Fire Protection District 4 to receive this resolution, and we are excited to see what the future holds for this program and the next generation of firefighters.

Ten years later, we remember the lives changed, the strength of our community, and the neighbors who stood together when it mattered most. Livingston Parish is stronger because of the people who never stopped helping one another.

It’s that time of year again, Back to School!

The start of the school year impacts everyone, not just families with school aged children.

Livingston Parish Schools return tomorrow, August 6th.

Most colleges in our surrounding area resume classes between August 17th and 20th, which may also affect morning traffic.

Please plan ahead and allow extra time for your commute as roadways will be busier during school drop-off hours.

Although Firefighter Castleberry was only with us for a short time, we were grateful for the opportunity to know and work alongside him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, as well as his brothers and sisters at St. George Fire Department, during this difficult time. He will be remembered and his service will not be forgotten.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our brother, Special Services Officer Philip Castleberry (SG-43).

Philip was a devoted husband, father, firefighter, and public servant who dedicated his life to serving others with honor and compassion. When we say Philip was “one of the best”, we mean it. His impact on our department and our community will never be forgotten.

Please keep Philip’s family, friends, and our St. George Fire Protection District family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Funeral arrangements and additional details will be shared as they become available.

Rest easy, brother. We’ll take it from here.
