Kennebec is fortunate enough to have a very professional volunteer firefighter staff who are dedicated to saving lives and property.
The town is located in Lyman County, South Dakota, a very sparsely populated county.
Lyman County was created by the Dakota Territorial Legislature in 1873 and organized in 1893. The county was named for Major W. P. Lyman, a member of the territorial legislature in 1873. Oacoma was the county's earliest town and first county seat. When Lyman and Jones County separated, Presho and Kennebec were the chief rivals of Oacoma for the honor of county seat. Following an election, the county seat was moved to Kennebec in 1923.
Kennebec is the fourth-largest of the towns in the county and is depended upon to help the other fire departments located in Lower Brule, Oacoma, Presho, Reliance, Vivian, and Iona.
