Apartment Fire Puts Mother & Daughter In Hospital
A fire broke out around 2:30 a.m. this morning while the residents were asleep. The fire occurred at 4730 Burkley Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky in a home that had been converted to duplex apartments. The residents of the upstairs unit awoke to find smoke coming into their apartment from the downstairs unit. They escaped without injury, and tried to alert the occupants of the first floor unit. After no one responded in the first floor apartment, 911 was called. Firefighters rescued the occupants of the first floor, who were unconscious at the time of the rescue. The occupants of the first floor unit were a mother in her 20s and a daughter, reported to be age 11. They were taken to the hospital and are reported to have been in critical condition. The cause of the fire is presently under investigation.
