Crews put out the main body of the fire around 5 a.m. and are on the scene addressing hotspots, officials said.
Archie Collins lives above a barber shop next door and said as he was falling asleep, he heard a loud explosion. At first, he wasn’t sure what to do but he went outside and saw smoke coming from the tire shop.
His home has water and smoke damage. He said all three businesses have close associates.
