The first Flash Jay Garrick became the Flash by accidentally inhaling an experimental substance called hard water. He was one of the founding members of the JSA in the 1940's. He remains relatively youthful do to an accident that bathed the JSA including Jay's wife in rejuvenating rays. He is currently active with the JSA and mentors the new Speedster Impulse. The second Flash Barry Allen, a police scientist acquired super speed by being struck by lightning and being bathed with the chemicals he used for work. He mentored the current Flash, Wally West, his nephew who gained his powers in a freak accident that recreated the first one that gave Barry Allen his powers. Sadly Barry Allen died in the Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline in the 1980's. The third Flash Wally West started his career as Kid Flash working with the Teen Titans. He took over the mantle of the Flash from his deceased uncle Barry Allen.

Most of these got the basic answers right; the golden age Flash was Jay Garick, the Silver Age Flash was Barry Allen, Kid Flash who became the current Flash is Wally West and the new Kid Flash (who used to be called Impulse) is Bart Allen
But if you really want to know everything about the speedsters, go to the site hyperborea.org
It has a link, Those Who Ride the Lightning, which lists EVERY SINGLE super speed character that DC has ever done, and some from other comic companies, too. I strongly encourage you to check this out if you are seriously interested in the Flash, any of them.
If you will excuse the pun, this will 'bring you up to speed' on what's been happening with the Flashes in the Dc universe, with all the changes that have gone on in the continuity since Flash of Two Earths, Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinite Crisis.
Enjoy!

I'm not absolutely certain who the current Flash is... it may be Bart Allen (formerly known as Impulse and later as Kid Flash).
The previous one was Wally West (also previously Kid Flash).
Before him was Barry Allen (the Silver Age name used in the TV version).
The first flash was Jay Garrick (from the Golden Age).
The "Scarlet Speedster" has always been one of my favorite comics heroes.

Golden Age - Jay Garrick
Silver Age - Barry Allen
Post-Crisis - Wally West (former Kid Flash)
Post-Infinte Crisis - Bart Allen (grandson of Barry, former Impulse)
and then there was the Future Flash - John Fox

Which one?
Jay Garrick
Barry Allen
Wally West
And, recently, whoever that kid is that played Impulse, Bart Allen (I think)?
This also doesn't count some of the 'future' Flash,s & other reality Flash's that show up.
