Firefighter Henry Cummings hoses a burning vehicle.

Volunteers had to dodge falling debris to get to the fire.

A structure fire on County Road 123 about three miles southeast of Water Valley destroyed a shop in back of the James Russell home. Firefighters from the Pine Valley and O’Tuckalofa Fire Departments along with other county volunteers responded to the blaze around 11:30 p.m. Tanker trucks were needed to shuttle water to the scene. No one was injured, but the shop was completely destroyed and the home severely damaged.
