A fire claimed a small outbuilding and about an acre and a half of land surrounding in Woodbury. Monday morning around 10:30 the Woodbury Fire Department was dispatched to an area behind the Crane Interior building on Alexander Drive to battle the blaze. Other fire departments responding to the scene included the Eastside, Westside, Short Mountain, Midway and Mooretown Volunteer Fire Departments. The Tennessee Division of Forestry was quickly called to the scene so a path could be bulldozed as the trucks were having difficulty getting to the fire. The building was part of the Cannon County Convenience Center and housed plastics. No cause on the fire was known as of yet. The Woodbury Fire Department was called back to the scene on two different occasions throughout the day to monitor the fire.
Woodbury Fire Chief Bill Johnston would like to thank all of the volunteer fire departments for their help in putting out the blaze. He noted that the Woodbury Fire Department would not have been able to put out the fire by themselves.
