A garage building was fully involved when firefighters arrived. The Rocky Hill, Chalybeate, and Brownsville Fire Departments battled the fire for nearly three hours.

Rocky Hill Fire Chief Tim Compton said there was also an apartment at the building but no one had lived there for some time. He also said there had been recent vandalism at the property where tractors and other farm equipment had been damaged.

One example of vandalism recently reported on the property.

In addition to the fire departments, Sheriff Shane Doyle also responded to the scene. According to Doyle, an investigation is pending a request from the State Fire Marshal's Office. He said while the recent vandalism could point to foul play in this incident, the State Fire Marshal's Office typically contacts Kentucky State Police for their availability of trained arson investigators.

No injuries were reported at the scene.
