Dozens of firefighters battled a massive factory fire in Lenoir Sunday evening. The fire at the old Broyhill Furniture Plant started around 5:30 p.m. on Morganton Boulevard, according to fire officials. The building has been there for more than 80 years and was turned into warehouses. Hundreds of people worked at the plant over the years, which closed more than a decade ago. Channel 9 was the first news station on the scene, where intense flames burned through the roof and could be seen shooting from the building. Reporter Dave Faherty said he saw smoke coming from the building from about 10 miles away.
