Wildfire battles continue in Kentucky Currently 99 counties have enforced burn bans, restricting all outdoor burning, these include Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell & Taylor Counties Click on headline for complete story From Kentucky Joint Information Center FRANKFORT, KY (Sat 19 Nov 2016) - High winds continued to challenge firefighting efforts Saturday as wildfires burned across the Commonwealth, primarily in the southeastern part of the state. Kentucky Division of Forestry officials said 61 fires were burning, with 21 of them on federal land in the Daniel Boone National Forest. Firefighting efforts were suspended overnight due to high winds in the area, but are expected to resume as winds exit the state. Officials reported that no fires broke containment lines overnight. "For safety reason, due to high winds, we have pulled firefighters back from fire lines but on a fire by fire basis we are actively taking defensive actions to protect homes and property," said Kentucky Department for Natural Resources Commissioner Allen Luttrell. Kentucky Emergency Management (KYEM) continues coordinating and supporting the efforts of the Kentucky Division of Forestry (KDF) and assistance from the Kentucky Fire Commission (KFC), Kentucky National Guard (KYNG), Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection (KDEP), Kentucky Department of Public Health (KDPH), American Red Cross (ARC), private sector, and many others. The 61 wildfires burning in the Commonwealth comprise 27,659 acres. The Red Cross has 11 shelters on standby. In the event evacuations become necessary, a map of open ARC shelters will be made available on the KYEM website home page, www.kyem.ky.gov. Currently 99 counties have enforced burn bans, restricting all outdoor burning. This story was posted on 2016-11-21 06:28:54
