Fire damages Unique Construction property

It took firefighters three hours to battle a Tuesday afternoon blaze that caused an estimated $8,000 worth of damage at a Wytheville business.
According to Wytheville Fire Department Chief Ronnie King, firefighters from Wytheville and Speedwell left Unique Construction at approximately 4 p.m. after putting out a fire that started in an old trailer used for storage and then spread to a nearby shed.
King said the blaze apparently started when sparks from a welder ignited the trailer at the Pump Hollow Road company. The trailer was destroyed, but crews were able to save the shed, King said.
No one was injured.
