Brush fires at Chambers Road (Jacksboro) and High Knob Road (La Follette)

LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- At this hour, 10 firefighters using four units with the Campbell County Rural Fire Service are battling a brush fire on the Lonas Young Park side of Goat Rock Bridge. The fire is contained and has burned about two acres.


“The fire will burn down to the rocks headed to Norris Lake,” said Captain Daniel Lawson with CCRFS.

Earlier Saturday afternoon, the CCRFS was dispatched to a truck fire on a farm on Chambers Road. “The truck burned up and caught the nearby woods on fire,” said Captain Lawson. Firefighters with the Jacksboro Fire Department provided mutual aid.
The CCRFS firefighters had been finished with the Chambers Road call for just a couple of minutes before the Goat Rock Bridge fire call was announced. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-04/05/2025-7PM-PHOTOS COURTESY OF CCRFS CAPTAIN DANIEL LAWSON)
