CARROLLTON, Kentucky — Two victims have been recovered from inside a home that burned in downtown Carrollton on Thursday.
Friday morning, Carrollton Police Det. Dave Roberts said first responders will continue recovery efforts throughout the day to ensure there are no further victims.
The two people who were found dead inside the home have not been identified. The State Medical Examiner's Office is working to identify them.
Police said the massive fire broke out early Thursday morning in the 200 block of 5th Street.
A young girl, who police said is approximately three years old, was rescued from the burning home when first responders arrived. The child was transported to the Carroll County Memorial Hospital but later airlifted to a Louisville hospital.
Her current condition as of Friday is unknown.
Authorities said several people lived inside the home, but it's unclear how many people were there at the time of the fire.
The community held a vigil outside the Carroll County Memorial Hospital late Thursday evening to grieve the loss of life.
