Lincoln County Volunteer Fire Rescue responded to a structure fire in the 1200 block of Shelbyville Highway about 6:15 Friday night. The first units arriving on the scene found a shed between two homes on fire. One of the homeowners was attempting to contain the fire with a garden hose. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze but the shed was a total loss. Residual heat from the fire damaged the siding on both houses. Lincoln County Fire Chief and EMA Director Doug Campbell said a drop cord being used inside the shed is thought to have started with fire.
