It had been there for decades, but on Friday morning a historic home in Rockcastle County went up in flames in a matter of minutes.

Firefighters were called to the home on Kentucky 1250 near Brodhead just after 5:00 Friday morning.

The woman who lived in the house wasn't at home, and there were no injuries.

The homeowner says the house was built in the 1940's and was made entirely of wood.

“It was a log house that had been refurbished. It was an electrical fire. It was fully involved when we got there,” says Chief Larry Taylor, Brodhead Fire Dept.

Taylor says there was nothing suspicious about the cause.

THE OCCUPANT OF THE HOUSE IS MY SISTER. MY FATHER WORKS FOR AND IS VERY CLOSE FRIENDS WITH THE ACTUAL HOME OWNER. I AM SURE THAT ALL OF THE NOSY PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY WILL BE GLAD TO KNOW THAT THE INVESTIGATOR WAS AT THE HOUSE ALL DAY TODAY AND THE FINAL VERDICT IS IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I HOPE THAT SATISFIES YOUR CURIOUSITY AND FROM NOW ON MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET THE WHOLE STORY BEFORE YOU START MAKING FALSE ACCUSATION ABOUT SOMEONES CHARACTER THAT COULD GET YOU IN TROUBLE YOU KNOW.
