Local thunder storms passing through the Oldham County area on Thursday morning may have contributed to a structure fire that was dispatched for both LaGrange Fire & Rescue Department and Ballardsville Fire & Rescue Department.

Upon arrival on scene first due units reported heavy smoke and fire that had vented through the roof area of a connected town home in the residential neighborhood. Further size up determined that all occupants were out of the structure as a 1.75 inch attack line was advanced into the home. Interior crews located the main body of fire on a second floor of the structure and began suppression and overhaul operations.

Efficient work by all units on scene held damages to a minimum. Thanks again to all those involved for helping make for a smooth and effective operation.
