VIDEO: Two people died Tuesday evening in a house fire in Logan County. The Russellville Fire Department said crews were dispatched around 8:34 p.m. to a report of a fire on the back porch of a home at 801 W. 9th St.
When firefighters arrived, the house was already fully engulfed in flames, making rescue efforts impossible. โThe fire was 10, 30 feet high,โ neighbor Ethan Basham described the blaze.
Other neighbors told WBKO staff that fire fighters were putting the fire out until midnight, and that the street was blocked off, not allowing anyone on the road. Basham found himself directing traffic to keep passing drivers safe.
