At approximately 3:05 this afternoon Bagdad Fire was dispatched to a working structure fire on Stapleton Road. Firefighters from Shelby County Fire, Waddy Fire and Shelbyville Fire responded to the scene with water tankers, pumpers and personnel to assist us in extinguishing a very difficult blaze. Shelby County EMS responded to provide rehab and medical attention to the firefighters who worked so hard in the extreme heat of the day. It’s great to see how all the emergency services in Shelby County can always count on one another to be there at the drop of a hat for assistance when needed. On behalf of all the Bagdad firefighters, thank you all for being there today and demonstrating how much you truly care about not only one another in emergency services, but most importantly the citizens of Shelby County. Proud to serve along side you all.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

This weekend the Bagdad Fire Protection District will be collecting donations for the 68th Annual WHAS Crusade for Children. Firefighters will be posted at roadblocks in front of our Fire Station located at 5910 Elmburg Road in Bagdad and in front of our Fire Station located at 8435 Cropper Road. Please stop by one of our collection points and donate to this amazing cause. If you are unable to make it by our collection points, give us a call at 502-220-0926 and we will send a firefighter to your home to collect your donation.
