According to Harlan Fire Chief Linette Hutchison, the fire was contained to one upstairs apartment. “I went to the top of the steps and the door was hot,” said Hutchison. “The fire is out and they are investigating it right now.” The Harlan City Fire Department was assisted at the scene by the Harlan County Sheriff’s Office, The Sunshine Fire Department, Harlan EMS and the Harlan City Police.
