At approximately 1:30 pm, the Chattanooga Fire Department received an alarm for a possible structure fire at 4218 Quinn Adams Street in the Alton Park neighborhood.

Upon arrival at the scene Captain David Barie with Engine 9 reported light smoke conditions on the single story residence. Captain Barie directed fire crews to make an initial attack on the fire as well as performing search operations on the house to determine if anyone was inside the structure.

At this time, no determination has been made to the origin of the fire or to the estimated dollar loss on the structure. The fire department responded with four fire companies on the initial alarm and added an additional fire company due to the high heat conditions. No injuries were reported.
