Workers smelled smoke and looked around. The manager says when they found the source of the smoke; she tried to put it out. Tammy Lee, manager, â€œand I turned around faced the north part of the store and I seen an orange glow and all I could do was yell that there was a fire back there. I grabbed the extinguisher and emptied it but it was too late.â€
