HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The Evansville Fire Department held a press conference on Monday to discuss the Pike’s Mattress fire that happened over the weekend.

An initial call reporting the fire came in just a few minutes after 4 p.m. on Saturday, and officials say the first Evansville Fire Department engine was at the scene within three minutes. Deputy Chief Kim Garrett says with this large of a structure fire, EPD stationed two crews to stay at the site overnight in case of any hot spots rekindling.

During the press conference, Deputy Chief Garrett said the weather played a major role, making it difficult to put the fire out.

This is a developing story.
