Firefighters were called to the structure on 1009 East Main around 12:40 a.m. A power line was arcing and fell to the ground as firefighters were working. The building was a total loss. Capt. Tony Gregory, City of Union fire commander, said the building was not connected to electricity and the blaze appeared to have begun in a back corner. A neighbor told firefighters the family who lives in the house and who owned the storage building are in the process of moving.
The blaze was a cause for alarm because initially it was reported that a chemical plant on nearby Mabry Street was on fire.
Southside and Monarch fire departments were called out to assist the City of Union.
