WHITLEY COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — Crews battled a large commercial building fire in Whitley County Tuesday evening.
Around 4 p.m., fire personnel responded to South Kentucky Truck Services in the 7000 block of KY Highway 92 West.
One side of the building was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived.
There were no fire hydrants nearby so crews had to shuttle water in. More than 20 fire departments were called to the scene.
There were several explosions from the trucks inside the building as they worked to fight the fire.
"It's probably one of the largest fires we've had in years, everyone worked good together though, that was a good thing," said County Emergency Manager Danny Moses.
Smoke continues to rise more than six hours after the fire started. Crews say they'll have to bring in an excavator to put out any remaining hot spots.
Officials say no one was hurt.
