🚨 Greenville Fire Department – Incident Update 🚨
At approximately 12:59 p.m. today, the Greenville Fire Department responded to a reported vegetation/grass fire. What initially appeared to be a small grass fire quickly spread into a wooded area, developing into a rapidly moving wildland fire. High winds and shifting wind directions caused the fire to spread rapidly and threatened a nearby Entergy power grid.
Due to the size and progression of the fire, additional resources were requested. A total of seven Greenville Fire Department engine companies responded. Mutual aid assistance was also requested from the Leland Volunteer Fire Department and Riverside Volunteer Fire Department. Through the coordinated efforts of all responding agencies, firefighters were able to stop the fire from reaching the power grid.
No civilian injuries have been reported. One firefighter experienced heat exhaustion and is receiving medical treatment, including IV fluid therapy.
