LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The warehouse that caught fire in Smoketown nearly a month ago has officially been demolished.

The warehouse caught on fire June 12 around 4:30 p.m., and it took firefighters nearly three hours to get it under control. Wayside Christian Mission used it for storage.

Fire officials had warned of the building's potential risk back in December and said that repairs were underway inside the warehouse.

Unfortunately, Wayside lost everything that was stored in that building and is asking for the public's help in restoring the inventory.
