PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. — A Kroger grocery store in Pigeon Forge caught fire early Saturday morning.
The Pigeon Forge Fire Department responded to 220 Wears Valley Road for a confirmed commercial structure fire at 4:30 a.m. When crews arrived, they were met with heavy fire coming from the loading dock area, according to PFFD.
Crews quickly contained the fire to the exterior of the building and kept the flames from spreading into an adjacent tractor-trailer, PFFD said.
A PFFD unit returning from another call was able to help by utilizing a compressed air foam system provided by Firehouse Subs Grant Foundation, according to PFFD.
Once the smoke was removed from the building, Kroger was allowed to reopen for normal operations. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
