LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – A man had to be air-lifted to Cincinnati Saturday after a fire in Lexington.

The fire broke out in the kitchen and extended into the attic. Once firefighters arrived, it took them just a few minutes to knock it down.

They found a man in his 60’s passed out just inside the door.
