Reeder McCullough looks over the fire damage to Whiteway Barber Shop after an early-morning blaze Sept. 14. The fire began in the front wall of the building, which sustained structural damage. The fire call came in on 911, and the Nashville Volunteer Fire Department was paged out at 5:39 a.m. Firemen were on the scene until 7:04 a.m. McCullough said that he should be able to salvage a great deal of the Scrapper memorabilia dating back several decades. Any fire damage will just make the team schedules and other items "look older," he said.
