On Thursday, a smoke alarm at Gum Springs Baptist Church prompted a swift response from the Lawrence County Fire & Rescue team. Thanks to the timely alert, firefighters were able to investigate the source of the smoke and address the issue before it escalated into a full-blown fire that could have caused significant damage to the church.
Utilizing thermal imaging technology, the firefighters identified that the problem stemmed from a malfunctioning fan motor within the HVAC system. Once the source was pinpointed, they promptly cut power to the unit, allowing smoke to be effectively ventilated from the building. Their quick actions ensured the safety of the structure and its occupants, preventing a potentially hazardous situation from worsening.
