LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX18) — Individuals have been displaced, and a duplex has minor damage following a fire in the 1100 block of Mt. Rushmore Way in Lexington, Saturday evening, according to Lexington Fire.

Lexington Fire tells LEX18 that crews were dispatched to 1192 Mt. Rushmore Way for a duplex fire. Crews arrived on scene at 6:48 p.m., and the first engine reported smoke showing from the home.

A fire was reported extinguished shortly after, but firefighters are still actively looking for hot spots and ventilating the duplex, according to fire crews.
