A fire caused major damage to a truck being repaired in a large garage in Marlow, and it caused moderate damage to repair equipment and the building.
The fire at Jackson Paving Co. on Oliver Springs Highway occurred at about 10:15 a.m. Friday.
The fire at the large auto repair garage occurred in the Marlow Fire Department area. But mutual aid was requested from the Oliver Springs and Oak Ridge fire departments because of the combustible nature of the materials used.
The Oak Ridge Fire Department response was canceled while crews were on their way because the fire was essentially extinguished upon arrival of the first fire units.
