MURFREESBORO, TN - A fire broke out at a homeless camp near the CSX railroad tracks and Medical Center Parkway this past week, prompting a swift response from Murfreesboro Fire Rescue crews. The firefighters faced several challenges in accessing the scene due to the camp’s location and hazardous conditions, including large amounts of trash and propane tanks present in the fire.
