One person was killed and another injured after a fire ripped through a homeless camp in downtown Louisville Tuesday.
It happened on East College Street at the Interstate 65 overpass. Louisville Fire officials said they responded to a trash fire.
When fire crews showed up, they found a tent on fire.
The name of the person who died hasn’t been released and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg’s office said Tuesday was a “White Flag” day, which means homeless shelters make additional beds available to anyone.
Many outreach organizations are working to get people out of the cold and let them know about the resources available to them.
Metro Homeless Services works every day to connect those experiencing homelessness with permanent housing resources.
