Numerous fire departments were on the scene of a business fire in Tryon North Carolina for an early morning fire Saturday.

The fire began around 2 AM at Henson’s Inc. on 83 Ridge Road off Highway 176 by the North and South Carolina state line.  The company is a landscaping and construction business.

The Tryon Fire Chief says a building was fully engulfed upon their arrival.  The building housed equipment from back hoes to dump trucks.  Several of those vehicles caught fire and thats why fire departments from Landrum, Columbus, Campobello and others assisted Tryon Fire.  The fire is out and on one was injured.

The North Carolina Bureau of Investigation is assisting in determining the cause of the fire.
