Carrollton, KY – A devastating fire ripped through a downtown Carrollton residence on Thursday morning, claiming the lives of multiple residents.
The City of Carrollton issued a social media alert around 8:00 AM, urging people to avoid the 200 block of 5th Street due to the active fire.
According to the Carrollton Police Department, authorities received reports of the blaze shortly after 6:00 AM and arrived on the scene within six minutes.
The house fire claimed the lives of Jessica Gibson Sellers and her three children. While her granddaughter survived and is currently receiving critical care in the hospital, her daughter and two sons were unable to escape the blaze.
Thankfully, first responders were able to rescue a young girl, believed to be around 3 years old, from the back of the burning home.
