Fire coverage is held at some addresses on this site and not at others, and the table is the entirety of the answer.
This is a Highway 64 town of about two thousand three hundred people, incorporated on 1 November 1869, with the Buford Pusser Home and Museum on its main road. Electricity belongs to Pickwick Electric Cooperative across the whole town regardless of which county a house is in. What the town does not publish is a building inspector or a codes department, although the state lists it exempt under both Hardin and McNairy, so this page does not claim it has one. On a fire that question is a call to city hall rather than an assumption.
An EF-3 ran 86.01 miles across McNairy and Hardin counties on 31 March 2023, staying on the ground for an hour and thirty-three minutes, and this town is one of the impact towns named in the survey. Nine people were killed along the track and twenty-three injured, and the damage came to $25.475 million. A tornado rebuild and a fire rebuild are the same trade working in the same houses, which is why what was replaced in 2023 is worth knowing before a wall is opened in a house that stood on the path.
Coverage runs across all of them — ZIP code 38310 — with no gaps left in between. The authority for building work here is the town is listed as an exempt jurisdiction under both counties, but no codes department is named on its own site, whatever a contractor tells you about it over the phone.

Two things get established before demolition: which county the parcel is in, and what the permitting route actually is, since the exemption appears on the state's list but no local office is named. Neither takes long and both change the schedule if left to the end. On the fire itself the disconnect is a single cooperative and the town is compact, so isolation is quick. Where a house was rebuilt after 2023 the newest work is usually the roof and the service entrance, and that is where the age boundary inside the building runs.
What the building stock here does
Crawl-space and slab housing from the 1950s onward makes up the stock, with a layer of recent exterior work over part of it. A new roof deck above older ceiling framing makes the attic the place where two ages of construction meet, and it is where smoke collects and where residue is easiest to miss. In slab houses the residue settles at the perimeter of the finish floor, where the wall meets it. Neither case is complicated to clean, but the two need different sequencing on the same street.
Wallboard is cut at a measured height above the waterline and the cut edge is read with a meter before anything below it goes into a bag.

Follow any of these and you leave Adamsville behind, because the pages underneath describe fire damage itself and not the town.

Before you call
Have the address, the county and the year the building went up ready when you ring. Those three answers decide which desk takes it and roughly what equipment leaves the shop.
Soot is acidic and it keeps working on metal and finishes while everybody waits on paperwork, which is the argument for starting cleaning before a claim is fully settled.
