Posted: Updated:

KINGSTON (WATE) - Firefighters battled a large business fire Wednesday night in Roane County.

Fire crews were called to a warehouse in the 600 block of Gallaher Road around 8 p.m.

Officials said the building that caught fire is currently owned by Cast Transportation, but used to be Rogers Southeastern Lubricants.

Kingston Fire Chief Willie Gordon said the fire started in the front of the building.
 
There was no oil being stored in the 9,000-square foot facility, just records. Employees had left the building earlier in the evening.
 
Chief Gordon estimates one third of the building was destroyed.  
 
There is no word yet on what caused the fire. No injuries were reported.
 
The East Roane Volunteer Fire Department and the Harriman Fire Department helped Kingston firefighters battle the blaze.
