MARSHALL COUNTY, Ky. —  Clothing, televisions are all lost, but a local family is still celebrating  because of the priceless item they saved following a house fire. 

The call came in around 1:30p.m. Friday afternoon. Several family members were inside and dozens of animals were at risk as the flames grew taller and the smoke thicker. 
 
Initial reports show the fire started with a faulty water heater in the master bathroom.
 
Flames engulfed the entire home causing a total loss.  However, despite the loss there was a miracle on Slaughter Street.
