LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Lexington firefighters battle an early morning house fire.

They were called to a home on West Maxwell Street, between South Upper Street and South Limestone around 4:30 a.m. Monday.

Police say no one was living in the home.

We're told one firefighter was sent to the hospital after falling on the scene. That firefighter is expected to be okay.
