Manchester railroad tie fire spurs hours-long effort from multiple Kentucky crews

MANCHESTER, Ky. (FOX 56) — At least five different fire department crews worked together for seven hours on Friday after railroad ties caught fire in a small Manchester building.

The City of Manchester Fire Department (MFD) posted on Facebook that just after 3:15 p.m. on Friday, crews were dispatched by Clay County E-911 to the area of KY-11 and Buzzard Road in Manchester in response to a large fire.

When crews got to the area, firefighters reportedly saw a small building and around 300 railroad ties on fire, and quickly reached out for mutual aid.

Several fire departments answered the call, including the Bush Fire Department from Laurel County, Hacker Fire Department, Fogertown Fire Department, and Richland Fire Department from Knox County.
