MGNMADISON COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) – A family in Madison County is without a home this evening, after their house was destroyed by a fire.
This happened on Bob White Drive in the northern part of the county.
“We looked out the window first, and the house was already completely engulfed,” said Mitch Steeves, a neighbor.
No one was home at the time of the fire, but the family that lived there is now entering a period of uncertainty.
Firefighters were called out around 10:00 on Saturday night when neighbors noticed flames billowing from the house
