A QVC distribution center in North Carolina was largely destroyed in a large fire that tore through the facility early on Saturday morning, December 18.

Units from the Red Oak Community Rural Fire Department responded to the scene.

The Rocky Mount Area Chamber of Commerce said 2,500 families were affected by the “terrible” fire which put “thousands” of people out of work.
