LOUISVILLE, Ky. --
Two firefighters were hurt while fighting a fire in the Jefferson Memorial Forest.
Firefighters from Fairdale and Pleasure Ridge Park responded to the blaze around 7 p.m. Sunday.
Crews were on the scene until just after 5:30 a.m. Monday. Firefighters said weather conditions were not cooperative with putting out the fire.
A total of 34 firefighters were on the scene. Two were sent to the hospital for heat exhaustion and fatigue, but they have both been released.
Firefighters said they suspect the fire started from natural causes, possibly a lightning strike from Saturday's stormy weather.
