SALISBURY, N.C. — Officials in Rowan County say a flea market in Salisbury sustained some heavy damage from an overnight fire.

Fire officials say the fire that started just after 3 a.m. destroyed a portion of the Webb Road Flea Market.

Officials with the flea market say the fire broke out in building b of the facility.

We told you about the massive fire at the same market back in 2010.

It took the market over a year until they reopened in 2011.

Fortunately, fire officials say that other areas of the facility are intact.

Folks with the flea market say that the fire was eventually put out and no one was injured in the fire.

We’re told crews had to call for help from several outside agencies.

We talked to one of the vendors who lost a lot of his items to the fire and we will have the full story on Channel 9 at 6 p.m.
