SPRINGFIELD TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn News) – The Korner Market, located at the intersection of 5th Ave and Kinneys Rd, was damaged by fire Tuesday evening. MAP
The fire started around 8:30pm and according to Captain Yates with the Springfield Fire Department, the fire started in the back part of the structure but was quickly contained to one room. Firefighters call it a “Good Stop.” The rest of the business did sustain extensive smoke damage, Yates said.
There were three people inside the business at the time of the fire, two employees and one customer. Troy Rigsby was inside the business when the fire started, he stepped aside to talk to Smokey Barn News. Rigsby said he and the employees smelled smoke.

The three then evacuated the building and called 911. All three made it out safely.
