ROWAN COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — A fire broke out around 2:30 a.m. in Rowan County Saturday morning.

The Rowan County Fire Department Chief said it happened at a sawmill off KY 32, about three miles from Morehead.

They said no one was hurt.

It took crews about 10 hours to put out all the flames, and they were able to save the main area of the mill.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
