Summary

Description The wildfire that started early afternoon on Sunday, February 28, at Land Between The Lakes. The 911 call came in around 3pm directing emergency personnel to the forested area off Forest Service Road 120 in Lyon County, Ky. The U.S. Forest Service dispatched two fire engines along with available firefighters. Eddyville and Kuttawa firefighters also responded to the call. Working together, firefighters built a fire break which contained the wildfire to 43.8 acres using natural features and hand tools. The fire is currently 28.8 acres in size, with the interior showing minimal activity. The larger containment area allowed us to minimize impacts to cultural and natural resources. Staff photo
