Four barns were destroyed at the Kentucky Exposition Center in a fire that
broke out on Sept. 8. The Kentucky State Fire Marshall and Louisville Metro
investigators have ruled that the fire was deliberately set.
Two of the barns that burned were more than 50 yards apart. It is likely,
investigators say, that two fires were set.
Luckily, the barns were empty because the Kentucky State Fair ended just two
days earlier. Had the fire happened over the weekend, it would have been full of
Saddlebreds. Police are asking those with tips to contact them at (800)
272-7766.
