Somerset Fire investigating after a trailer catches fire
SOMERSET, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – Quick thinking and fast response kept a trailer fire from turning into a much larger disaster at Eagle Hardwoods on West Racetrack Road.
Dispatchers say employees spotted a trailer loaded with sawdust on fire Monday and quickly pulled several other trailers outside, stopping the flames from reaching the main building.
When crews arrived, they found multiple fires in the trailer bay and in the trailers themselves, all believed to have been sparked by an auger. Firefighters from Somerset, Ferguson, and Science Hill joined forces to knock down the flames within minutes, preventing any major damage.
No injuries were reported, and the business remains open as the cleanup continues.
