07-28-16 Morning Fire Destroys Valleybrook House
By the time the firefighters found the house fire at the corner of Baltusrol and Masters Road, the damage had already been done. Lt. Sheets said the house was fully engulfed in flames and the roof was caving in. Neighbors told the firefighters that the elderly couple that lived there for years had died and the house has been vacant for months. It took 20 firefighters roughly 30 minutes to get the fire under control.
Word was received later this morning that two firefighters were injured on this fire. They received first and second degree burns and were transported to Erlanger Medical Center for treatment. Safety Officer Travis Williams said their injuries were not life-threatening. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Chattanooga police and Hamilton County EMS provided assistance on the scene.
