Two people were displaced by an electrical fire late Tuesday night in Chattanooga. At 10:50 PM on 1/16/24, Blue Shift companies responded to a reported residential fire in the 4100 block of Bonny Oaks Drive, at the corner of Bonny Oaks and Churchill Road. The residents reported smelling something burning inside their home and firefighters found fire in the front corner of the residence. They made an interior and exterior attack, but they couldn’t fully extinguish the fire until EPB arrived and pulled power to the structure. Every time crews tried to check for extension, wires arced. Once those obstacles were mitigated, the fire was extinguished. It was determined to be electrical in nature, according to officials on the scene. There were no injuries and the Red Cross will be assisting two adults who safely escaped the fire. Engine 4, Engine 15, Quint 6, Ladder 7, Squad 7, Battalion 1, and Battalion 2 responded, along with CPD and EPB.
