Two injured as home destroyed by fire

Two people were injured in a fire that destroyed a North Christian County Thursday night.

Crofton Fire Chief Tim Terrell says the structure on Grapevine Road near Atkinson Schoolhouse Road was fully engulfed when the first crews arrived.

Two people were able to get out and went by private vehicle to Baptist Health Hospital in Madisonville for burns.

Cause of the blaze remains under investigation, but Terrell said it was possibly caused by kerosene heaters.

He says eight firefighters from his department got out in the elements to fight the fire.
