Fire causes major damage to a building in Christian County.

The full release below is from the Sparta Fire Protection District. 

Fire Crews were dispatched to a commercial structure fire on Industrial Park Dr at 11am Sunday.

First arriving units found a large metal building heavily involved in fire. Due to the high heat several surrounding departments were called in to help. The fire started in the south end of the building in a powder coating and body shop. One firefighter was transported to the hospital for heat exhaustion but was released a short time later.
