Our crews are back in service in the county following a complex recovery operation at approximately 111 feet, with several obstacles that made the recovery extremely challenging.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

We are thankful for the crews who answer the call and for the personnel who step up to cover while our specialized teams are away. This is truly a team effort.

Thank you to City of Campbellsville and Barry Smith, Taylor County Judge Executive for continuing to support our mission and special operations capabilities.

We are also thankful for the Kentucky Emergency Management search and rescue grant that helped provide this specialized equipment. Having the right tools allows us to make these difficult recoveries safer for our responders while helping reduce recovery times.

We are proud to assist out neighbors Russell County Emergency Management, Russell County Search & Rescue and Clinton County Emergency Management. We know when we need help they will be here.

Tying skills together for the benefit of the patient.

It’s hot. We’re tired. There are 100 other places we could be tonight… but we’re here.

Training. Learning. Pushing ourselves. Building the skills and teamwork needed when someone needs us the most.

Because when the call comes, it’s not about us. It’s about the patient.

Forward progress! Making a difference when it matters.

Tonight, our Special Operations personnel spent the evening working on lifting, stabilization, vertical extrication, medical, and rope rescue skills.

The focus was on bringing all of these skills together to manage a complicated, unstable situation—just like the real-world incidents our team is prepared to handle.

Training hard, working together, and staying ready.

Congratulations to Firefighter/EMT Logan England on successfully completing his Open Water SCUBA Diver certification!

This certification is the first step toward becoming a Public Safety Diver (PSD) and provides the foundational skills necessary for underwater operations. While earning an Open Water certification is a significant accomplishment, public safety diving requires extensive additional training and experience. Unlike recreational diving, public safety divers often operate in extremely challenging environments, including zero-visibility water, swift current, entanglement hazards, cold water, contaminated water, submerged vehicles, and underwater evidence or victim recovery. These missions require advanced training in search patterns, communications, rescue and recovery techniques, dive safety, and specialized equipment.

Campbellsville Fire-Rescue remains committed to developing highly trained Special Operations personnel capable of safely responding to complex water emergencies throughout our hometown and the region.

Campbellsville Fire-Rescue’s Special Operations Team was requested by Russell County Emergency Management to assist with a drowning incident on Lake Cumberland near the Alligator 1 area.

On Saturday afternoon, Campbellsville Fire-Rescue responded with Dive 3, Squad 1, Marine 1 and the Chief. Our crews assisted Russell County personnel with sonar/ROV operations until approximately midnight clearing several points of interest.

Crews returned Sunday morning, and responders were able to locate the missing individual.

As part of our regional response system, Campbellsville Fire-Rescue sends a 5–6 person team to assist our neighboring agencies while our remaining technicians, divers and firefighters stay in Campbellsville-Taylor County to ensure we continue providing emergency services to our community.

We appreciate the opportunity to assist Russell County and, most importantly, to help provide closure for the family during an incredibly difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family, friends and all responders involved.

Special Operations crews are clearing the scene and heading back to HQ.

Prayers for the family and all responders involved.

We’re proud to support our partners in Russell County.
