Closed door gives firefighters a fighting chance

EAST BERNSTADT, Ky. (WTVQ) – Firefighters in East Bernstadt are crediting a closed door with helping them buy some time fighting a fire at a home.

The East Bernstadt Fire Department says the fire broke out in the bedroom of the home Wednesday.

Firefighters say someone in the home shut the door to the bedroom, preventing the fire from spreading faster and giving them more time to get on the scene.

They say one person in the home did need to be taken to the hospital to be treated for minor burns.
