Three people were displaced after an electrical house fire early Friday in Louisville’s Park Duvalle neighborhood.
Capt. Jelen Greene, a spokesperson for the Louisville Fire Department, said crews responded to the reported fire just after 2:30 a.m. in the 1600 block of South 31st Street. That is near Dr. William G. Weathers Drive and Southern Avenue.
Crews responding to the scene didn’t find any visible fire from outside of the home but later found a working fire in the attic.
Greene said firefighters conducted an “aggressive interior fire attack” and were able to contain the fire to the attic.
Three adults were displaced from the home after the fire. Greene said a civilian reported an eye injury at the scene but declined medical treatment.
Investigators determined the fire was electrical, with the residents reporting a history of electrical issues in the home’s attic, including a loss of power before the fire started.
Greene said 25 firefighters, four engines and two trucks responded to the scene. No other injuries were reported.
