The Bourbon Fire Protection District is providing this information to our citizens within the City of Bourbon.

For purposes of this notice, the west side of Bourbon includes residences, businesses, schools, and other properties located west of the Town & Country Supermarket area.

We are taking this situation seriously and are exercising an abundance of caution to ensure adequate water supply and firefighting resources are available should an emergency occur in this area.

As an additional precaution, two additional tanker trucks from our mutual-aid partners will be automatically requested for any structure fire occurring in this area.

Our goal is to ensure that our firefighters have the resources necessary to respond effectively and protect the lives and property of our citizens.

Sullivan Fire arrived and assisted with interior operations. Cuba, Leasburg, Gerald, and St. Clair Fire assisted with establishing a water supply and laying out over 1,400 feet of 3” supply hose, as well as assisting with fire suppression.
