Structure fire reported on Kraus Lane in Fairfield (2024)

LEADING THE WAY. A LOT GOING ON THIS MORNING IN THE WEATHER DEPARTMENT. DRIVE FOR NOW. BE PREPARED FOR SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS, MAYBE EVEN SOME STORMS IN PARTS OF TOWN TODAY. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. I’M MEGAN MITCHELL AND I’M STEPHEN ALLBRITTIN HERE WITH KELLY RIPPON. THANKS FOR JOINING US. ALL RIGHT. SO LET’S GET A CHECK WITH METEOROLOGIST RANDY RICO FOR A LOOK AT WHAT TO EXPECT. RANDY TOOK YOUR ADVICE. HIT THE POOL. ARE THERE GOING TO BE MORE CHANCES FOR THAT? I WOULD SAY TODAY’S A GOOD POOL DAY UP UNTIL ABOUT 2 OR 3 P.M. THEN AFTER THAT, THEY’RE GOING TO BE SOME AREAS GETTING HIT WITH RAIN AND TODAY’S RAIN THREAT IS A BIT MORE HIT AND MISS, MEANING THEY’RE GOING TO BE SOME PARTS OF TOWN THAT SEE NO RAIN AT ALL LATER TODAY. BUT WHERE IT RAINS, IT POURS. AND THAT CHANCE GOES UP AROUND ABOUT 2 OR 3:00 THIS AFTERNOON. RIGHT NOW EVERYTHING IS QUIET HERE ON THE WLWT LIVE RADAR. AND AS WE START THE MORNING TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN IN THE 60S, SOME SPOTS, EVEN A LITTLE BIT WARMER AND MORE HUMID THAN THEY WERE THIS TIME YESTERDAY. 68 DEGREES RIGHT NOW OFFICIALLY AT CVG, HEAD UP INTO BUTLER COUNTY, MIDDLETOWN’S AT 63, HEAD DOWN TO KENTUCKY AND FLORENCE RIGHT NOW AT 65. NOW, THE ONE THING THAT WE HAVE IN OUR FAVOR THIS MORNING IS WE’RE NOT DEALING WITH THE WIDESPREAD FOG THAT WE HAD YESTERDAY. I DO ANTICIPATE A LITTLE BIT OF RIVER VALLEY FOG DEVELOPING AS WE HEAD TOWARDS SUNRISE. BUT RIGHT NOW THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. IT’S CURRENTLY 68 DEGREES AND WE’LL SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES PRETTY STEADY FOR THE MORNING RUSH. BUT BY THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON WE MAKE IT INTO THE MID UPPER 80S. WE FEEL LIKE THE 90S THANKS TO THOSE HIGHER DEW POINTS AND ONCE WE GET PAST ABOUT 2:00 THIS AFTERNOON, THAT CHANCE FOR RAIN KICKS BACK IN. SO AS FAR AS RAIN THREATS GO THIS MORNING, YOU’RE GOOD. LUNCHTIME IS FINE. BUT THIS AFTERNOON HIT AND MISS DOWNPOURS AND WE’LL DEAL WITH A COUPLE ROUNDS OF STORMS AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY. I’LL HAVE THE FULL TIMELINE FOR ALL OF THIS COMING UP. STEPHEN. ALL RIGHT, RYAN, THANKS SO MUCH. 501 NOW HERE ON YOUR TUESDAY LEADING THE WAY WITH MULTIPLE BREAKING NEWS STORIES OUT OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY THIS MORNING. A MAN IS IN CUSTODY AFTER A LARGE POLICE PRESENCE THAT WE’RE STILL WORKING TO LEARN MORE DETAILS ABOUT.

THANK YOU. 504 MORE BREAKING NEWS OUT OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY. A ROLLOVER CRASH INVOLVING MULTIPLE VEHICLES IN COVINGTON. THIS HAPPENED A SHORT TIME AGO. DANIEL DINDIC, YOU WERE AT THE SCENE AS IT WAS BEING CLEANED. CLEANED UP. CAN YOU SHOW US WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE NOW? WHAT’S THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC? YEAH, STEVEN, SOME GOOD NEWS THIS MORNING. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THAT CRASH IS CLEAR, WHICH IS ONE OF THOSE GOOD THINGS, BUT DEFINITELY BEEN A BUSY MORNING FOR COVINGTON FIRST RESPONDERS, BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU THAT THAT CAR FLIPPED AND SENT AT LEAST ONE PERSON TO THE HOSPITAL. BUT I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO SO YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF HOW BAD THAT CRASH WAS. NOW, THIS ALL HAPPENED ON MADISON AVENUE, RIGHT BY HOLMES HIGH SCHOOL AND ACROSS FROM COVINGTON HOUSING AUTHORITY. YOU CAN SEE THAT CAR WAS FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN WITH THE WINDOW SMASHED. FIREFIGHTERS WORKED TO CLEAR THE SCENE WHILE POLICE HELPED DIRECT TRAFFIC.

BUT ONCE AGAIN, THAT PORTION OF MADISON AVENUE IS BACK OPEN TO TRAFFIC, AND AS SOON AS WE GET ANY NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE CRASH, WE’LL BE SURE TO UPDATE YOU BOTH ON AIR AND ONLINE. BUT ONCE AGAIN, THE DRIVER WAS SENT TO THE HOSPITAL REPORTING LIVE THIS MORNING AT
