At 9:47am this morning, RFD and Gott FD was originally dispatched to a fire alarm on Gunsmoke Trail Way, with report of smoke detectors sounding. E43 and E42 arrived on scene and found light smoke coming from the roof and informed dispatch to upgrade our call to a structure fire.

As additional personnel and agencies were enroute, we had two firefighters make entry into the residence with limited visibility due to the smoked up conditions. After advancing into the structure, flames were located in the kitchen area and were knocked down quickly.

BGFD’s Truck 1 also responded and were next on the scene, who completed a search of the residence. Home owners were not present at this time, but unfortunately, a service dog was found deceased due to smoke inhalation.

Additional personnel from our department arrived and began to ventilate the residence and remove the toxic smoke from the structure. Salvage and overhaul operations began, to ensure there was no additional hotspots or hidden fire. An attic search was conducted by BGFD personnel, as RFD members began to clear the kitchen area of debris.

While still on scene, RFD was dispatched to a rope rescue call on KY HWY 185 for an individual who had climbed one of the rock walls in an attempt to retrieve a sign, and was then unable to climb back down the wall. RFD responded, alongside BGFD’s ladder truck, which was used to rescue the person and lower him safely to the ground. There were no reports of injuries for this call.

RFD has placed all trucks and equipment back in service and we are ready for the next call!

Additional agencies on scene:
Bowling Green Fire Department
