Cookeville Fire crews trying to contain an early morning fire in the Crawdaddy’s building downtown Wednesday morning.
Fire Chief Daryl Blair said crews arrived around 3:30 Wednesday morning and found the fire spreading quickly. Blair said the age of the building and the proximity to other structures makes containment a concern. Blair said the department has recalled all crews to help.
The building is located at 53 West Broad Street, at the corner of South Cedar.
West Broad Street from Walnut to Oak Street will be closed until further notice. Cedar Avenue from West Broad to 1st Street is also closed Wednesday morning.
This is the second fire in that downtown block in the last year. This spring, the building across the street from Crawdaddy’s suffered damage.
