Jackson Towers fire creates life safety issues By Chris Taylor, Chief, Campbellsville Fire-Rescue Campbellsville Fire-Rescue was dispatched to a report of a smoke alarm activation at Jackson Towers, 1 Clem Haskins Blvd, Campbellsville Sunday. While en-route to the scene, 911 calls advised that smoke was showing from the 4th floor. Engine company 4 requested an upgrade to a second alarm. Upon arrival, firefighters found moderate smoke on the fourth floor with the fire extinguished by fire suppression system. Moderate smoke still created life safety issues. Crews immediately began assisting low mobility tenants from the 5 story apartment building. Firefighters physically evacuated 15 tenants from the apartment with the remaining occupants evacuated on their own. 6 of those tenants had to be medically evaluated by Campbellsville Taylor County EMS, only 1 patient was transported to Taylor Regional Hospital with difficulty breathing. Of the 52 occupants, 7 apartment units were displaced due to smoke/fire/water damage. Those effected apartments included 1A, 2A, 2C, 3A, 4A, 4B, and 4C. The majority of those tenants went with family to stay overnight and 3 were housed via The American Red Cross. Taylor County Emergency Management, Hometown Connect and American Red Cross coordinated efforts to temporarily take care of tenants' immediate needs while they were displaced. Special Thank You to Auberry Funeral Home and Bethel First Presbyterian Church for allowing us to utilize their neighboring locations to allow tenants a place to shelter from the cold temperatures. The cause of the fire is related to the kitchen stove. No firefighters were injured.
