Campbellsville Fire-Rescue Mutual Aid to Eastern Ky Flooding By Chris Taylor, Chief Executive Director Fire-Rescue-EMS Campbellsville Fire-Rescue 7-28-2022 Requested at 0800 7-29 Update All Our Resources Are Back In Campbellsville Our special operation mutual aid partners system (Shepherdsville Fire Department, Scott County Fire Department, Georgetown Fire Department) was able to provide a 16 member team, 5 motorized watercraft, 6 self bailing rafts, swiftwater trailer to provide mutual aid to EKY. Our mutual aid partner system allows for departments to send a handfull of trained personnel from each department as to not effect normal operations of any department. We are able to leave equipment and personnel here at home and provide assistance to other agencies. We responded to Letcher County and immediately had to provide motorized boat evacuations to several residence on the North Fork of the KY River working in conjunction with Kentucky Conservation Officers and Kentucky State Police. 8.7 inches of rainfall that fell across the county in such a short period resulted in the North Fork, cresting at 20.9 feet in downtown Whitesburg, where the flood stage is 10 feet. The river crested at 14.7 feet during the January 1957 flood. Our mutual aid partner system remains on standby if any additional requests come in and crews will spend today cleaning up equipmemt and preparing for the next mission. Several counties in EKY are absolutely devastated and will only see the entire magnitude in the days to come. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. For a lot of people their lives will never be the same. This story was posted on 2022-07-29 23:58:39
