TROUP — Crews get a structure fire under control at Neckover Trailer Manufacturing in Troup, and they’re now busy assessing the damage. At least one building has been lost. Smith County officials tell KETK that Whitehouse, Arp, Troup, and Jacksonville firefighters headed to the scene in the 900 block of South Railroad. Authorities closed Highway 135 South from Troup to Jacksonville while they fought the blaze. All utilities at Neckover were shut off, and all employees were sent home. An employee of Neckover said the fire started from grinding sparks. Fire crews said the blaze began in the paint shop, where four painters were at work. All four got out safely.
