TN/KY Firefighters Make “Good Stop” In Adairville
Firefighters from Olmstead Rural, Lewisburg, Auburn, Russellville Rural, Adairville and Adams made what firefighters call a “good stop” after a controlled burn spread to 2 adjacent structures in Adairville Saturday. The fire, which started around noon, was located on Riverview Drive just over the Tennessee/Kentucky border. MAP
The fire put off a good-sized plume of smoke that was visible for miles around, including residents in Robertson County. According to Assistant Fire Chief Fire Donnie Warren with the Adairville Fire Department, the fire started as a controlled burn and then spread to a storage building and onto an unoccupied trailer. Firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to numerous occupied dwellings nearby, one within 50 feet.
Assistant Chief Warren told Smokey Barn News that wind gusts were the catalyst that pushed the fire but the team did a great job containing it and preventing it from damaging occupied homes. Chief Warren wanted to extend his thanks to all the firefighters who came to assist today—“It was a great stop.” PHOTO: J.Jones
