On Tuesday, March 11th, volunteers from Lawrence County Fire Rescue were busy responding to a total of six service calls. Among these incidents was a serious motor vehicle accident, which required immediate attention. Additionally, the team dealt with two separate brush fires, a tire fire, and a minor hazardous materials leak. They also attended to a high-priority medical emergency that demanded swift action.
The volunteers expressed their sincere appreciation to the staff at Rose Farms, who played a crucial role in one of the fire suppression efforts by providing several thousand gallons of water. Their assistance was invaluable in managing the situation effectively.
It is important to note that a burn ban is currently in place for Lawrence County, primarily due to the presence of high winds. Residents are urged to refrain from any burning activities today, as permits are not being issued, and this measure is essential to prevent any potential outbreaks of fire.
