Southern Area Incident Support Cache
The Southern Area Incident Support Cache (SAK) is located at London, Kentucky. A new facility was constructed adjacent to the airport. Staffed by only four full-time people, the workload of the cache is comparable to any of the other national caches.
SIFC is a part of a national system of interagency support caches designed for the storage of firefighting supplies and equipment.
The cache is located on the Daniel Boone National Forest in eastern Kentucky.
MISSION
Its mission is to furnish emergency equipment and supplies for
the Southern United States and to assist other national caches.
AREA SERVED
The geographic area served extends as far north as New Jersey,
south to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and west to Texas and Oklahoma.
SUPPLIES
The cache stocks thousands of items necessary for firefighting
and other emergencies. The list includes tents, fire fighting tools,
communication kits, helicopter support equipment, batteries, sleeping
bags, fire resistant clothing, and much more.
OTHER EVENTS
SAK also provides assistance during other emergencies and
participates in special events. In recent years SAK has assisted relief
efforts associated with floods, hurricanes, ice storms, and search and
rescue efforts.
FACILITIES
SAK built a new facility in 1996. The new structure has 20,000
square feet of warehouse space and 2,000 square feet of office space.
It is located adjacent to the London/Corbin airport.
