The Jackson Fire Department conducted a prescribed burn on about 1.5 acres near Cemetery Lane and Placer Drive Wednesday. Prescribed burns are an important measure in working ahead of what’s expected to be a heated fire season this summer.
Battalion Chief Alex Sharp says prescribed burns not only help clear dry brush that are potential fuels for fires but also serve as an important training tool for firefighters.
“In rural communities, vegetation management especially creating firebreaks where fire can’t from the big open fields to the houses, that’s where our biggest threat is,” Sharp said.

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – On Friday, two Jackson firefighters were taken to the hospital after being hit by a car.
According to the Jackson Fire Department PIO, Rescue 17 responded to an accident on Canton Mart Road and I-55 S Frontage Road, where a car ran into a pole at the intersection.
Investigators said once fighters arrived on the scene, they approached the vehicle and discovered the driver had appeared to be asleep. Once they opened the door, the driver put the vehicle in reverse and left the scene, hitting the unit that the captain and lieutenant were in.
