Electrical fire at Water Treatment Plant

Chris Taylor, Chief
Campbellsville Fire-Rescue


Campbellsville Fire-Rescue was dispatched to a report of an electrical fire at the water treatment plant. Upon arrival firefighters found a 30x30 electrical building with moderate smoke coming from the entry door and light smoke coming from a pump in the pump building.

Firefighters were able to shut off the power to the building and isolate the damaged pump.

We also used negative pressure ventilation to remove smoke from the buildings.



Water treatment plant staff was able to isolate the issue to one pump and was able to keep two other pumps running so there was no disruption to water services to the community. No firefighter or civilian injuries were reported. The cause of the fire was related to some type of electrical issue with a large water pump.

9 Firefighters on scene, CFD Apparatus on scene, Engine 1, Engine 2, and Chief

Assisting Agencies: Campbellsville Taylor County Emergency Communications Center, Campbellsville Taylor County Emergency Medical Services.
