One woman is lucky to have escaped alive after a fire rips through her Oak Grove, Ky. home overnight.
The fire began at around midnight on the side of the house, according to fire officials, who say the wind spread the fire across the house, which is a total loss.
One woman was home at the time of the fire, and was banging on her windows for help. Several neighbors worked to get her out of the house, police and family say.
She was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. She has since been released and is staying with family.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Solar panels that obscure school might be moved
May 24, 2013 13:13 GMT
ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A wall of solar panels in front of a Surgoinsville school might be moved out back.
The panels are part of an ambitious project under which solar collection panels have been installed at 20 Hawkins County school facilities to cut utility costs and sell back power to TVA.
But the Kingsport Times-News (http://bit.ly/18burcf ) reported the wall of panels at Surgoinsville Middle School has some people worried about school security and others upset at what they see as an eyesore.
The panels are 7 feet high and stretch the length of a football field. They obscure viewing the school.
At a school board work session Thursday, board members talked about moving the array. It can't be voted on until the regular board meeting on June 4.
