A vehicle was swept off the bridge and the occupant was sitting on top of the Vehicle. Rescuers on scene were able to float a Personal Flotation Device and Rope to the person and were able to self rescue. Russell County Rescue was also called to assist with this rescue.

  • At 14:39 Hours emergency responders were called to North 61 Greensburg Road for a vehicle in the water with an individual still inside. It was later determined that the individual was inside Green County and was rescued by Green County Rescue units.

  • At 15:12 Hours, emergency responders from Breeding Fire Department, Knifley Fire Department, Adair County E.M., Adair County E.M.S, Campbellsville Fire Rescue & Adair County Constable Jason Rector were dispatched to Spout Springs Road for an emergency welfare check.

Emergency Responders were able to rescue the individual.

  • At 18:45 Hours, the Breeding Fire Department was called to assist the Metcalfe County Fire Department for a swift water rescue call on Toby Hill Road. The individual was rescued prior to the arrival of BFD units.
With all of these incidents taking place in a short amount of time we want to thank all responders from the 911 dispatchers taking the calls to the responders on the ground for all the hard work and training that had been put in for a time like this. Adair County is blessed with the best and we have some great mutual aid partners who we work very well with who are always willing to come and assist.

Please remember when you see a flooded roadway to turn around don't drown!
