There is a story in Louisville, Kentucky that has not received any national news attention.

There is a situation unfolding in a Louisville neighborhood where city officials say they may have no choice but to do a controlled burn at a hoarder house that contains dangerous chemicals.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg made the announcement at a news briefing Tuesday morning,

nearly one week after 53-year-old Marc Hibel was arrested in connection to reports of hazardous materials in the home.
