Crescent Springs, KY (September 9, 2025) – One person tragically died after a fire broke out early Sunday morning, September 7, at a mobile home in Crescent Springs.

According to Crescent Springs/Villa Hills Fire & EMS, Kenton County dispatch received a call around 3:20 a.m. about a fire at a single-family home on the 2400 block of Terra Cotta Street. 

A second call soon followed, reporting that an immobile resident and three pets were still inside the home.

When fire crews arrived, they found heavy flames coming from the front of a double-wide mobile home. The incident commander quickly upgraded the response, bringing in units from Fort Mitchell, Erlanger, Edgewood, and Fort Wright.
