A large fire broke out at Budge Industries’ warehouse on First Street in Henderson, Kentucky, on January 8, 2025. The fire, which began around 12:30 p.m., quickly spread throughout the building, with flames visible through the roof. The fire triggered a coordinated firefighting response, with multiple jurisdictions coming together to battle the blaze.

As the fire raged through the afternoon and evening, city officials confirmed that operations were still ongoing at 5:00 p.m., and firefighters were working into the night to ensure the fire was fully extinguished. The estimated damages from the fire are significant, with early reports indicating a loss of around $450,000.

The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, but firefighters managed to contain the flames without any reported injuries. Budge Industries, a manufacturer of protective car covers, leases the warehouse from a realty company. Fire crews from surrounding areas, including local police, worked tirelessly under difficult conditions, as the temperature continued to drop.

This incident underscores the importance of early fire detection to prevent significant losses. Systems like Planck Vision Systems’ TNC thermal imaging cameras are critical for identifying abnormal heat conditions before fires fully ignite, potentially saving lives and preventing property damage. These advanced monitoring tools can detect potential fire hazards early, reducing the risk of large-scale fires like the one in Henderson.
