CLINTON, Tenn. — With firefighters working in extreme temperatures, several had to be treated for heat-related symptoms on the scene while combating a blaze on July 4, an Anderson County Sheriff's Department report indicates.

And members of one department that went to the Leach Lane blaze had back-to-back responses, going from there to a trailer fire in the Briceville area, said Tony Errington, chief of the Briceville Volunteer Fire Department.

Both structures were destroyed, according to reports.

An explosion touched off when spilled paint was ignited by a gas pilot light in the Leach Lane blaze at Antoni Hipp's residence.

Hipp said he was mixing paint for model cars when he spilled some in a backroom and was cleaning it up when it exploded.

Members of the Medford, Briceville, Marlow, Andersonville and Claxton volunteer fire departments responded, along with Clinton city firefighters.
