HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Poole Community Fire and Rescue provided an update on a Webster County fire that occurred Monday night.
Poole fire officials say it took a lot of teamwork for a “complicated fire” that involved multiple structures and 20 to 30 vehicles, along with dense woods and a narrow driveway. Firefighters from three counties converged to fight the blaze and stop it from spreading.
Poole Community Fire and Rescue says it had three apparatuses and twelve members on scene to assist the Dixon Fire Department, with one member staying back to cover medical. Four hose teams were deployed throughout the area, and most fought the fire for four to six hours.
