K105 reports heavy fog caused almost zero visibility in some areas as firefighters traveled to the scene.

Upon arrival, smoke was visible coming from the front door and a window of the mobile home.

Firefighters say additional obstacles included items piled nearly ceiling to floor in sections of the home. The agencies had to create an opening with a chainsaw and an axe on one end of the home to reach the fire.

Firefighters also had to break a window to tear down drywall and extinguish the fire.

The Leitchfield Fire Department responded for mutual aid at the scene around 3:40 a.m., with the fire declared extinguished at 4:18 a.m.

The fire swept through the left side of the home, with heavy smoke damage in the remaining rooms.

The cause of the fire has not been determined at this time, according to East Grayson Fire Department assistant chief Jonathan Blankenship.

No injuries were reported, and the scene was cleared by 4:55 a.m.
