BELL COUNTY, Ky. — Early Sunday morning authorities in Bell County, Kentucky received a call about a structure fire on Highway 221 in the Stoney Fork community, according to Kentucky-based radio station 106.3 FM WIRL. 

The Bell County Volunteer Fire Department responded and found the E&E Hardwoods Sawmill on fire.

Crews worked quickly to put the fire out and were successful a few hours later, but the fire rekindled just before 8 in the morning. Crews were then able to put the fire out again. 

Right now, the Kentucky arson investigator is looking into what caused the fire, WIRL says.
