Fire Crews Battle Massive Fire At Home In Washington Co., TN

A massive fire rips through a two-story home in Washington County, Tennessee Sunday night, causing some concern for shoppers at a Tri-Cities Wal-Mart.

The fire broke out around 7:30 Sunday evening at a home on McKinley Road. The home is located behind the Wal-Mart on West Market Street.
Three fire crews rushed to the scene, to find the home engulfed in flames. Digital Journalist Ted Overbay was the only reporter on the scene as Johnson City, Jonesborough and other firefighters worked to contain the massive blaze.

Firefighters even had to stand on a back wall of the Wal-Mart building to spray water onto the home.
Black smoke filled the air and could be seen all the way in Downtown Johnson City and from Highway 11E.
No one was in the home at the time, and fire crews would not comment on a cause.
