Thursday sparked more problems on Loretta Lynn's Hurricane Mills ranch.
A concession stand went up in flames on the property around 7:30pm. The fire started after employees were on site preparing to re-open the ranch to the public after being closed for the winter.
The electricity had recently been restored on property before the fire started but authorities with the Humphreys Co. Fire Department could not immediately give an official cause.
The heavy smoke and flames caused significant damage on the property and the fire is still under investigation.
Loretta Lynn issued a statement on her Twitter account Thursday night thanking everyone for their concern.
The fire is the latest of problems seen on the Hurricane Mills ranch in recent months. Straight line winds are getting the blame for causing $100,000 of damage when aggressive storms moved through Tennessee back in January.

Man facing extradition for murder claims innocence
June 17, 2013 20:24 GMT
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- A former U.S. Marine facing extradition to the Philippines on double murder charges says he is innocent.
Timothy Kaufman has been in jail since his arrest in April at business near his grandfather's Albany-area home. The 35-year-old from Knoxville, Tenn., is one of three men charged by Philippine authorities with killing a retired Northern Ireland police officer and his girlfriend in 2011.
Authorities claim it was a premeditated killing in an area known for its sometimes-seamy club scene.
In a handwritten letter sent to the media from jail, Kaufman says he would never do something as "heinous and stupid" as killing the couple. He says he left the country after the killings because he feared for his safety.
An extradition hearing is scheduled for June 25 in Albany federal court.
