LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Firefighters have spent hours in the bitter cold batting a fire at a Lexington supply story early Saturday morning.
The Lexington Fire Department tells LEX 18 the fire happened just before 2 a.m. at 84 Lumber on Palumbo Drive.
Once they got on scene, fire crews saw the flames were "well advanced" throughout the building.
The fire caused part of 84 Lumber to collapse, with many combustible items and materials inside.
LFD said the collapse, combined with the freezing cold temperatures, made it a challenge for firefighters to respond quickly on scene.
No injuries were reported as a result of this fire and the cause is still under investigation.
Fire crews and investigators are expected to be on scene for several more hours Saturday.
As of now, the section of Palumbo Drive and Codell Drive where the fire took place with be shut down while the investigation continues.
