At approximately 4:50 a.m. on Saturday, April 5, 2025 the Russell Springs Volunteer Fire Department (RSVFD) responded to a structure fire on Highway 1729, just before the Adair/Russell County line. When firefighters arrived on scene, the house was already fully engulfed in flames, and crews immediately began working to bring the fire under control.

A total of 14 firefighters from RSVFD were on scene for about 2 hours and 40 minutes. We were assisted by the Jamestown Volunteer Fire Department and South Kentucky RECC, and we appreciate their support.

Assistant Fire Chief Mark Barnett said, “Thankfully, no one was hurt. Our crews, along with Jamestown Fire, did a great job getting it under control. Right now, the cause of the fire is still being looked into.”

We’re proud of the teamwork and dedication shown by all departments involved this morning.
