Kentucky (Indiana’s NewsCenter) - Authorities believe a group of children were responsible for a big fire at a Kentucky popcorn factory.

Witnesses told deputies they saw four to five minors behind the building just before the fire started.

Firefighters had a hard time controlling the blaze. Several propane tanks also ruptured and made loud noises.

Whether it was intentional or not, deputies say the resulting fire led to the total loss of the factory. The factory employed 10 workers.
