The residents of the community directly adjacent to the building were evacuated because of several large explosions early on in the fire, according to officials at the scene.

There were painters inside the building at the time of the fire,  they heard some kind of loud pop or explosion and quickly got out of the building, according to several witnesses at the scene, no injuries were reported. The main CSX rail lines that pass directly by the structure were shut down while crews battled the blaze.

Multiple agencies responded to assist, including the Adams Fire Department out of Robertson County.

The State Fire Marshall has issued a statement indicating that the families that live directly behind the structure can return to their homes at 10pm
