LOUISVILLE, Ky. — It took dozens of firefighters about an hour to put out the flames of a fire that had spread to three west Louisville homes Monday night.
At approximately 11 p.m., Louisville Fire Department (LFD) crews were dispatched to the 2600 block of West Jefferson Street on reports of a possible abandoned house fire, according to an LFD news release.
