Bowling Green Fire Department<\/p>\n

The Bowling Green office of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was engulfed in flames in an overnight fire, officials have confirmed. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

The Bowling Green Fire Department arrived at the scene around 1:45 a.m. following reports of a significant fire at the downtown location, which serves as Paul\u2019s local office. Firefighters encountered heavy smoke and fire upon their arrival and called for additional units, according to Public Information Officer Katie McKee.<\/p>\n

A total of 31 personnel, not including two deputy chiefs and Bowling Green Fire Chief Justin Brooks responded to the scene.<\/p>\n

Several large tree limbs in front of Sen. Rand Paul\u2019s office had to be cut so a hose could reach the 2nd floor windows. Six units worked to extinguish the flames, with firefighters manning the aerials of trucks 1 and 6 to get at the fire from above. (Bowling Green Daily) pic.twitter.com\/80t9ChetHN<\/a><\/p>\n

Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fire, which remains unknown. It is still unclear which building the fire first began.<\/p>\n

In a statement to BG Daily News<\/a>, Sen. Paul said, \u201c\u201cWe are thankful for the Bowling Green first responders who arrived quickly to the scene to put out the fire, and are continuing to work with authorities to assess damages and to determine a cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a very well established emergency management plan and have the ability to continue operations that will not impact our work helping Kentuckians.\u201d<\/p>\n
