LAWRENCEBURG, TN (WSMV)

A fire destroyed a building at a Lawrenceburg business on Monday afternoon.
The flames broke out in the paint bay at Precision Laser & MFG, which is in a building behind the main office. 

A worker saw the smoke around 3 p.m. and called 911. 

The fire caused a propane tank and 165 gallons of paint thinner to explode. The roof of the building also collapsed.

Firefighters were treated and monitored because of the extreme heat, but no one was hurt.

The Lawrenceburg Fire Department said they are still working to determine the cause of the blaze.
