GLASGOW, Ky. — A Glasgow firefighter is recovering at a Nashville hospital after being injured while battling a house fire in Barren County on Friday morning.
Chase Dile, a firefighter with the Glasgow Fire Department, was among crews responding to a fully involved structure fire off New Salem Road.
According to a GoFundMe page, Dile suffered burns while fighting the blaze. He was initially taken to T.J. Samson Community Hospital before being airlifted to TriStar Skyline Medical Center in Nashville for further treatment.
