Wildfire burns 20 acres; threatens homes, church

A fast moving fire caused a lot of damage in southern Kentucky Monday night.

The fire broke out around 5:30 p.m. off Highway 698 in Lincoln County.

Firefighters aren't yet sure where and how the fire started. However, it spread to two abandoned buildings, destroying them.

The fire also burned around 20 acres, and came very close to some homes and a church.

Firefighters say they have the fire under control. However, they're still working to put out some hot spots.

Highway 698 is currently closed in that area.
