TENNESSEE (From news reports) -- Nobody was injured by a fire that broke out at a paper plant in Calhoun, TN late Monday night, June 16.

Emergency response crews at the Domtar Calhoun Mill, alongside local fire departments, responded to the scene at 10:30 p.m., according to a Domtar representative.

The fire reportedly started inside an old training facility on the property. This building was formerly the Bowater Credit Union.

Viewers reported seeing heavy smoke billowing from the large structure Tuesday morning.

A bulldozer on scene has started demolishing the building, which suffered extensive damages.
