I'd like to thank all of the folks that stopped by our Kirbville VFD BBQ fund raiser and purchased either a meal or the "by the pound". For us, it was a great success, selling out around noon. The funds raised will go to supporting the VFD in maintenance costs, equipment, training, etc.

Thank you.

Its the law.....move over, slow down.

This morning, Brodhead Fire Department responded to an injury accident on I-75 northbound at the 69.8 mile marker.

Upon arrival, Engine 11 was positioned in a blocking position to protect the scene, closing the right travel lane. Command 12 was positioned well in advance of the incident as a warning vehicle to provide additional scene protection for responders and motorists.

While crews were operating on the scene, a passenger vehicle failed to move over and struck Engine 11 on the driver’s side. As a result of the collision, one Brodhead firefighter was transported from the scene to Saint Joseph Berea for evaluation and has since been treated and released. The occupant of the passenger vehicle refused treatment and transport at the scene.

Kentucky State Police Post 11 responded and is actively investigating both collisions.

This incident serves as an important reminder that Kentucky’s Move Over Law exists to protect emergency responders, law enforcement, tow operators, highway workers, and the motoring public. When you see emergency vehicles with lights activated, slow down and move over. If you cannot safely move over, reduce your speed and proceed with extreme caution.

Thankfully, today’s incident did not result in more serious injuries.

Due to the damage received from recent strong storm winds over the past few days, and the system that created a great amount of damage to the northern portion of Jasper County last night, coupled with projected additional storm systems moving into Jasper County and Southeast Texas over this weekend, a local declaration of disaster has been issued.

This declaration will allow our state, county and local personnel, emergency responders and utility service response crews to conduct operations as needed to protect our citizens' lives and their property.
