East Bernstadt Fire & Rescue

06/23/2026

At 10:39 am, East Bernstadt Fire Department was notified of a residential structure fire on Little Arthur Ridge Road. London-Laurel County 911 Center advised that there was entrapment of a child that family members were attempting to get out. Crossroads Fire Department was responding for automatic mutual aid already and EBFD command requested London City Fire Department respond due to them having a staffed paid engine crew ready to respond that could possible arrive quicker. Thankfully first arriving firefighters advised the child was out of the residence and was not injured. All occupants were out of the structure and firefighters were able to get a quick knockdown but unfortunately the structure suffered major damage and the family was displaced. American Red Cross was contacted and are assisting the family. Also assisting on scene was London Laurel County Rescue Squad for their portable air trailer, Ambulance Inc. Of Laurel County, The Laurel County Sheriff's Department, and Jackson Energy London. We are thankful for a positive outcome on this incident that could have been much worse. All agencies are clear of the scene at this time.

On 05/11/2026, firefighters were dispatched to a residential structure fire on N US Highway 25, just up from the state police post. Automatic mutual aid from Crossroads Fire Department was already enroute and fire command requested mutual aid from London City Fire Department as well due to the location being at edge of city limits. First arriving apparatus confirmed a working structure fire with no access for large fire trucks from the roadway. Due to this firefighters had to shut down the roadway and utilized ladders to make access up the bank with hose lines and tools. Firefighters also utilized our tower ladder from the roadway to make access to the fire. Additional engines were requested from Laurel County Fire Department for water supply and to provide firefighter coverage for the city of London. London - Laurel Rescue Squad and Ambulance Inc. Of Laurel County also assisted on scene. The group photo is just being attached to show the amount of teamwork that goes into some of these incidents, that photo represents several different agencies that worked together to serve their communities. We are always thankful for good partnerships in our area when the need arises!
