WATCH | Kitchen fire at Hope Center’s Recovery Center for Women in Lexington
Updated: Jun. 25, 2022 at 6:00 PM EDT
A fire started in the kitchen of the Hope Center early Friday evening. The sprinkler system was able to stop most of the fire by the time the fire department arrived, but the sprinklers flooded the floors.
Scott County Emergency Management says there was an accidental mixing of two chemicals in the “paint two” area of the plant. That caused a release of some sort of gas.
