McKinney house fire spreads to neighboring business and home
McKINNEY, Texas - An upholstery business and the two houses next to it caught fire in Collin County overnight.
The McKinney Fire Department said the fire started around 1 a.m. Tuesday at a home on Kentucky Street, just north of downtown McKinney.

Upholstery material inside the shop fueled the flames and spread the fire to a second house.
