No injuries reported after fire at apartment complex near Jeffersontown

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- No injuries were reported after a fire at the Fenwick Place apartment complex near Jeffersontown early Wednesday.

It happened around 7 a.m. at the complex in the 8700 block of Fenwick Hill Place, at the intersection of Hurstbourne Parkway and Six Mile Lane.

Jeffersontown Fire Chief Sean Dreisbach said crews encountered heavy smoke and flames coming from a balcony on the second floor of one of the buildings. The fire then spread to an attic inside the apartment.

Dreisbach said everyone made it out safely.

"The people that actually occupied the apartment were already out," Dreisbach said, adding that residents in adjoining apartments also made it out after firefighters arrived and alerted them to the situation.

"They were still inside, and we were able to knock on doors and actually get them out," Dreisbach said.

Kelly Grey, who lives on the ground floor of the building where the fire broke out, says firefighters knocking on the door allowed her family to get out safely as smoke filled the entire building.

"So, I was already working, and my daughter came in my bedroom and said somebody's knocking at the door!" Grey said. "She was kind of panicked. So they kept knocking, and I didn't know why. And then finally, I was like 'what is it?' They said 'there's a fire! there's a fire!"

There's no word yet on what caused the fire.
