Maysville Fire Department

This week, we would like to recognize Ashley Messer, Social Worker with the Maysville Police Department, for representing our community at the 2026 Kentucky State Fire School.

Ashley taught a powerful and much-needed class titled “Stronger Minds, Stronger Service: Addressing the Mental Health Challenges of First Responders.” The course focused on the unique mental health challenges faced by firefighters and other first responders, including cumulative trauma, critical incident stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and su***de prevention. Through evidence-based strategies, practical tools, and meaningful discussions, participants learned how to build resilience, support one another, and recognize the warning signs of stress injuries before they become life-altering.

The mental health and well-being of our first responders is just as important as their physical safety, and Ashley’s dedication to this mission is making a difference far beyond the City of Maysville.

We are incredibly fortunate to have a social worker of Ashley’s caliber serving within the Maysville Police Department. Her work positively impacts not only the citizens of Maysville but also first responders and communities across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. By sharing her knowledge and expertise at the state level, she is helping strengthen the fire service and public safety profession for generations to come.

Please join us in thanking Ashley Messer for her commitment, compassion, and leadership. We are proud to call her a partner in public safety and an ambassador for the City of Maysville.

Thank you, Ashley, for all you do for our community and for helping first responders across Kentucky build stronger minds and stronger service.

Today, the Maysville Fire Department responded to a structure fire on East 4th Street in Maysville.

Upon arrival, crews encountered heavy smoke and fire showing from the second floor of a residence. Due to the intensity of the fire, it had already spread to a neighboring home. Thanks to the quick and aggressive offensive attack by Shift 3, firefighters were able to bring the fire under control and limit the damage to the second structure. While both homes sustained damage, both structures are still standing.

Fortunately, no one was home in either residence at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported.

We would like to commend Shift 3 for their outstanding response and thank all of the off-duty personnel who answered the call and came in to assist. We could not do this job without the dedicated men and women who are willing to drop everything and put their community first.

We would also like to thank the Maysville Police Department and Emergency Management Director Liess for their assistance and support during today’s incident.

Great teamwork by everyone involved and a reminder of how important a fast, coordinated response is when protecting lives and property.
