Fire damages vehicles and restaurant in McClains area
City Building Inspector H. W. Kirby cites a $16,000 loss after a pickup slipped on a hydraulic lift, rupturing a fiberglass saddle tank and igniting fumes. Firemen fought the blaze for over an hour, with 5,000 gallons of water used. The pickup and car burned. The Volunteer Fire Department returned later Tuesday to a kitchen fire at the restaurant, destroying a deep fryer.
