Family loses home in Anderson Co. fire

ANDERSON COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Anderson Co. Fire Department says a family’s home is a total loss after battling a fire on Sea Ridge Road.

Firefighters say they were called to the home just after midnight Monday morning and say the home was completely engulfed by the time they arrived.

Complicating their efforts, firefighters say water had to be shuttled in from six miles away.

Firefighters say they remained at the home for hours trying to put the flames out. They believe the fire started in a front bedroom but the cause is still under investigation.

No word on where the family of six will stay but the homeowner says the Red Cross is helping and the community has already donated needed items.
