Outdoor Fire Threatens Local Business - NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather & Sports

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- A fire near the airport threatened a local business Saturday afternoon.

The heavy smoke came from behind the Unifirst Uniform Rental Company on Massman Drive as oOnlookers captured the scene on cell phone video. Investigators said bins full of old rags caught on fire, but they are uncertain of how the fire was ignited.

Firefighters had to force their way into the gates of the property because the business was closed. They were able to put the fire out quickly and keep it from spreading to the nearby building.
