Jackson Fire Department
On June 5 Jackson Fire Department was dispatched to the uptown area for a commercial fire. Before the night was over a 3rd Alarm was called. Mutual Aid from Cape Girardeau Fire Department, Cape Girardeau County Fire Protection Districts, Scott City and Perryville were on scene. The fire was held to the business occupancy of origin. The common wall businesses did have smoke damage. Working together and cooperation kept fire extension from doing more damage.
We have already experienced unusually warm weather this year. So far 2025 has thrown a lot of weather extremes at us so it isn’t a surprise that summer isn’t what we are accustomed to this early in the season. The heat and humidity can zap us quickly. Just a reminder to stay hydrated and listen to what your body is telling you when working incidents.
Until next time, thank you for what you do for your communities and stay safe out there.
