1 person transported to hospital after Lexington house fire on Squires Road

A house fire in Lexington sent one person to the hospital early Thursday, WKYT reported. The incident occurred on Squires Road.

Firefighters responding to the home found flames in the attic, WKYT said. Crews worked to contain the fire from spreading to other parts of the structure as the scene was managed as an active emergency response.

According to WKYT, firefighters were able to bring the flames under control and extinguish the fire. The report did not provide details on the person’s condition or injuries, beyond the fact that they were transported to a medical facility.

The report also did not specify the time the fire was first reported, the cause of the attic fire, or whether any additional people were inside the home at the time crews arrived.

Local fire investigations typically follow after flames are out, with crews and investigators checking for the origin point and reviewing possible contributing factors such as electrical equipment, heating systems, smoking materials, or other household hazards. No such findings were included in the WKYT report.

Residents in the area are often affected by traffic control and emergency vehicle access during house-fire responses. The WKYT report did not describe road closures or how long firefighters remained on scene before clearing the incident.

A follow-up determination on the fire’s cause and the extent of any structural damage would generally come later through official fire and investigation records, which were not included in the initial report.
