2 people who were saved from the apartment fire in the Pappel district

Louisville, Ky. –

Firefighters saved two people from a burning residential building in poplar hills on Thursday evening.

The crews worked tirelessly all day and cleaned up the damage left behind by fire.

Amanda Goodin, who lives next to the apartment complex, saw fire engines and smoked out of the building.

In addition to Okolona Fire, Creek Fire and Ems reacted to the call in this two -story apartment. When the crews arrived, two residents were caught on the second floor.

The deputy chief Dwayne Hutchens from Fern Creek Fire and Ems said: “They immediately grabbed to floor ladders and climbed onto the balcony.”

A neighbor alarmed firefighters about a dog that is still caught inside.

“They approached her at this time. They brought them out and doctors gave their oxygen,” said Amanda Goodin.

The deputy fire chief Dwayne Hutchens said that the location of the building has had a significant difference in the rescue of life compared to the fire station.

“That made a big difference. The faster we arrive there, the better the result is,” said Hutchens.

The fire affected eight units in total – two persistent fire damage, while the other had smoke or water damage.

“There were no other inmates within the building that were injured,” said Asst. Chief Dwayne Hutchens.

The fire may have started on the first floor, but the exact cause is unknown.

Amanda Goodin said: “I think animals are as precious as a human life. I am only grateful that nobody was injured and everyone has come out.”

The Red Cross occurs and supports families who have lost their houses.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Nevertheless, civil servants examine what the fire triggered.
