Firefighters spent Wednesday afternoon battling a large tire fire that they believe might have been intentionally set.

It happened at a tire recycling business on Highway 472 in Laurel County and took about two hours to get the fire under control.

The emergency management director said the business was closed Wednesday so they are calling it a suspicious fire.

“We don’t know how it started at this point but there is no wildfires around that would have caused it, there aren’t any storms so lightning can’t do it. So at this time it is a suspicious fire,” Albert Hale of Laurel County Emergency Management said.

The fire was so massive at one point the smoke could be seen from neighboring counties.

Hampton showed LEX 18 one of the knives she says her mother tried to stab her with. She says it all started Tuesday evening when Melissa was watching her grandchild and asked her daughter to take the kid back. When she told her mom to hold on while she put a bow on her other child, she says that’s when her mom snapped and became irate.

“She was slinging him by his arm trying to throw him at me, literally. I told her if she cut me she better kill me. I don’t know why she was trying to stab me,” Naisha said.

Melissa Hampton declined an interview from jail.
