MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Fire investigators are trying to figure out what caused a massive fire that destroyed an abandoned home in Southwest Memphis early Tuesday.
The fire started just before 1 a.m. in the 500 block of George Road near Ford Road.
When firefighters arrived, flames were shooting out of the two-story home.
It took nearly an hour to bring the blaze under control — but firefighters were able to keep the flames from spreading to the garage behind the home.
MLGW also had to be called to the scene to deal with a gas leak.
There were no injuries reported.
