An early morning fire badly damaged a home and small business in Troutville.

    It happened in the 8000 block of Lee Highway, before 5:00am Sunday morning.
    Fire crews working to knock out the flames say they had worries over a propane tank outside of the building. They had to secure the area to make sure it didn't explode.
    NEWS7 is still working to find out from fire investigators the extend of the damage, and how the fire began.
    We'll keep you posted as soon as information comes in to our newsroom.
