An out-of-control brush fire leveled at least two structures Tuesday afternoon at West Frankfort City Lake in southern Illinois.

The fire occurred in a rural area of the lake about four miles east of West Frankfort in Franklin County. No one was reported injured in the blaze. 

Two of the structures were reportedly homes. 

Franklin County was under a burn ban at the time that the fire started. The ban was issued on Monday. 

WFCN reported that fire officials had not yet confirmed any information regarding how the brush fire started.
