Large Industrial Fire In Pike County
Belfry Fire Chief Nee Jackson just told us that firefighters have pretty much contained the fire that broke out Thursday night at K & W Metals junkyard. 50 firefighters from 10 departments responded. Crews battled several explosions. One firefighter was treated and released from a local hospital for dehydration. Dave Broderick Assistant State Fire Marshal told us that it was one of the largest industrial fires that he has witnessed in eastern Kentucky. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
