Shopping center catches fire in Memphis

VIDEO/PHOTOS: A shopping complex was engulfed in flames early Wednesday morning in Frayser. WREG crews captured photos of the building fire in the 3300 block of North Watkins Street.

A driver traveling through the intersection of Frayser Boulevard and North Watkins gave a detailed account of what she witnessed. โ€œIt was an absolute inferno, the flames were in the sky,โ€ she stated.

โ€œThere were about seven or eight trucks working on them, itโ€™s as if they were running out of water. They were trying to find fire hydrants to actually put it out.โ€ Those familiar with the community and the complex told WREG that the area was filled with locals.

There was a barber college, a nail salon, and even a family-run dentistโ€™s office at the shopping center.
