Multiple agencies responded to the fire due to a series of explosions that could be heard well into the Knox County portion of town. According to the Corbin Police Department, the homeowner was an avid gun enthusiast and the blaze had caused ammunition in the residence to go off.

At least one person has been confirmed deceased in the fire, though no names have yet been released.
