Chief Bowman said the the fire caused minimal damage and will be ruled accidental, most likely from an electrical malfunction. With so many fire companies responding to fires today, the decision was made to request a Mutual Aid Standby from neighboring fire departments. As a result, the Red Bank Fire Department responded in with Chattanooga to assist Engine 22, Quint 19, Quint 10 and Squad 20 on this fire.
