Firefighters responded to the 8900 block of KY HWY 259, just past the Cedar Grove Church Road junction around 5:50am this morning to a building that was fully engulfed in flames.

According to a neighbor, the building belonged to the estate of John Sensabaugh and had been abandoned for years. The neighbor said the building was used as storage and had no electric service.

The building was nearly gone as firefighters arrived, but emergency personnel worked to contain the blaze, which was in close proximity to other homes. A Chevy S-10 pickup that was parked near the building was also damaged in the fire. The truck belonged to Tim Duvall, according to a neighbor.
