Upon arrival, firefighters saw a large two-story wood-frame home almost fully engulfed in flames.

K105 reports the fire is thought to have originated at the front of the home, where popping sounds could be heard caused by heated ammunition. Heavy crosswinds further spread the fire through the home and through nearby grass.

Along with the home, several cars parked in the front yard were heavily damaged, including a classic muscle car.

Firefighters battled the fire and searched for hots spots before clearing the scene at around 5 p.m. No injuries were reported.

Leitchfield fire chief Tim Duvall said the fire was likely electrical in nature.

The Red Cross arrived on scene and assisted the family, according to K105.
