We were glad to go assist our neighboring community last night. Tanker 1 and tanker 3 responded along with seven firefighters. 

At approximately 7:45 on June 30th, 2026, Weakley County 9-1-1 received a call for a structure fire at a commercial poultry production farm on Palmersville Highway 89. While responding, PVFD personnel noticed a large plume of smoke in the area and requested mutual aid from Cottage Grove, Cuba, Como, and Latham Fire Departments for tanker and manpower support. Personnel arrived on scene and confirmed a working fire in all 4 barns of the operation. All 5 departments responded with more than 14 pieces of fire apparatus and numerous personnel. Over 100,000 gallons of water was used to contain and extinguish the blaze. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. Palmersville VFD would like to recognize and thank each department and their personnel for their willingness to help.

You may have heard the term “ISO rating” before, but what does it actually mean?

ISO ratings help measure how prepared a community is to respond to fires and emergencies. It’s based on things like firefighter staffing and training, water supply and hydrants, equipment, fire prevention efforts, emergency communications, and more.

A lower ISO rating reflects stronger fire protection capabilities and can benefit homeowners, businesses, and the community as a whole.
