Five apartments at Richmond Manor were either damaged or destroyed Saturday night after police said the building was intentionally set on fire. Police said they were in a standoff with Logan Browning, who had been shooting at officers from inside one of the units after a domestic dispute. We’ve now learned crews had difficulty fighting the fire because a nearby hydrant was not working—and it’s not the first time. Several fire departments from around Madison County, and even the Lexington Fire Department, responded to the fire at Richmond Manor Saturday night. We’ve learned the fire hydrant that is less than 100 yards away was not working. An ‘out of service’ tag is marked on it. This is the second time a fire hydrant at that complex has failed when there was a fire.
