WEST COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) - Firefighters are battling a fire at a home in Covington Tuesday morning.

Firefighters were called to the home on Altamont Road before 8 a.m.

An accident overnight had snapped a utility pole. Battalion Chief Tom Martin said they were called in to make sure there were no issues when the power went back on. Smoke was spotted from the back of the building.

Firefighters determined the smoke had been burning in the walls and the roof for some time. It took some effort to knock down the fire.

The home was vacant, according to Martin. So was one of the next-door homes. Neighbors in another were removed while firefighters put out the flames.

There are no reports of injuries.

No word what started the fire.
