LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Fire crews are cleaning up after an early morning house fire in Oldham County.

Firefighters were called to a home on Old Highway 53 about 4:30 this morning.

Officials believe the fire started in the fireplace or chimney. Two people and a dog got out safely.

Four departments were called to help, since the rural road is in a tanker area where water is trucked in.  

One firefighter was taken to Baptist Northeast for a back injury.
