NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Fire is working to figure out what caused part of a parking garage on 6th and Commerce to catch fire and collapse overnight.
The call went out just before 2 a.m. on Tuesday for a 2-alarm fire at the garage connected to the Renaissance Hotel.
When first responders arrived, there was heavy smoke showing. After making an interior attack, smoke and fire were primarily located between the third and fourth floors, involving multiple vehicles.
Crews found that a ramp between the fourth and fifth floors collapsed and several columns and beams on the same floors were showing signs of spalling, causing significant structural compromise.
The building was deemed unsafe and no one was allowed to enter.
The Main Library is closed due to the fire. Garage parkers are encouraged to park in the garage at 4th Ave N at Commerce.
Officials report no injuries.
I love a good "before and after" and Nick Beres comes through showing what some TLC can do for some pups found in deplorable conditions. It's so good to see these dogs on their way to a much better future. Enjoy this update!
