STAFFORDSVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) – Firefighters battled an overnight fire at Conley Tire on KY 40 West Thursday morning.
 

According to Oil Springs Fire and Rescue, crews were dispatched around 1:19 a.m. and arrived to find the main building fully engulfed, with a collapsed roof and downed power lines.

Low water pressure initially hampered firefighting efforts. Crews shuttled water to the scene and requested increased system pressure while multiple departments worked to contain the flames.

Firefighters battled the main building fire from outside while another crew entered the workshop building to fight fire there.

The fire was brought under control around 3 a.m. and fully extinguished by 7 a.m., allowing KY 40 to reopen.

Oil Springs received assistance from W.R. Castle, Rockhouse, Paintsville and North Magoffin firefighters. The department’s newly purchased ladder truck also responded.

The department’s statement did not provide a cause or information about injuries.
