Fire Destroys Barns At Kentucky Fairgrounds
On the second morning after the closing of the Kentucky State Fair, a three-alarm blaze at the fairgrounds was reported around 2:08 A.M. Tuesday (today). While the first Louisville Fire and Rescue unit arrived at 2:13 A.M., just five minutes after the fire was reported, and the blaze was under control shortly before 3:00 A.M., four barns were completely lost, a fifth sustained heavy damage and three had minor damage.
