Six firefighters were injured while on the job Thursday.
Ted Shields, the fire chief of the Northeast Nelson Fire District, said the fire happened around 12:50 p.m. on Main Street in Fairfield, Kentucky at the Old Henry McKenna Distillery.
He said five of the firefighters were injured because a ceiling collapsed and pinned them down, and the sixth firefighter was injured while trying to get them out of the debris.
All six were sent to the hospital with minor injuries, and have since been released according to Shields.
The building itself had been remodeled into apartments; two of the units were affected, and those two families were displaced the chief said.
