Federal and state investigators are on the scene today to try and determine the cause of a fire that destroyed a funeral home in Griffin. The blaze broke-out just after 6 o’clock Monday night at the Watkins and Sons Funeral Home. Authorities say the fire started on the 2nd floor, and was stoked by embalming fluid and other chemicals—no bodies were in the home at the time of the fire. No employees were injured, but one firefighter suffered a minor injury. The business operated out of an antebellum house that was at least 130 years old.
