Multiple agencies responded after a large residential building caught on fire at the Spencer-Bullitt County line.
The Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Protection District received a call on Monday just after 5 p.m. Heavy fire was immediately noticed when crews got there and a mayday was called after a firefighter fell through the first floor and into the basement. He started to rescue himself and was quickly found by another crew working to control the fire in the basement.
Water was supplied by a tanker shuttle operation that consisted of nine tankers.
There were two firefighters who were hurt. One of them was treated there at the scene and another was taken to a hospital and eventually released. There were no reported civilian injuries.
Investigators are now working to figure out what caused the fire to start.
The Spencer County Sheriff’s Office; Spencer County EMS; Kentucky Department of Transportation; Mount Washington Fire District; Mount Washington EMS; Mount Eden Fire District; Salt River Electric; and Taylorsville Water Department all responded to the scene.
