Fire crews have responded to multiple water rescues, near the Kentucky River. No injuries reported. The Kentucky River will rise another 2-3 feet, and will not crest until March 3-4. If you live in the river area, be prepared to evacuate, with your pets, as conditions worsen.

@meaganhesketh @meaganhesketh Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We certainly don’t condone Ms. Brooklyn Rachelle’s comments. However, we don’t know who this Ms. Rachelle is nor do we have anybody by that name currently on our department.

It is safe to return to your homes and businesses in the Southland Dr./Rosemont Garden neighborhood. We have had a few people ask and we wanted to confirm publicly in case anyone was still unsure.
