CFD Responds To Fire At Steel Business

The Chattanooga Fire Department had a busy start to the week, starting Monday with a residential fire on Hixson Pike and then a commercial fire later in the day, in addition to other routine calls.

At 4:10 PM, crews went to 600 River Terminal Road (LJT Tennessee). Quint 10 was first on the scene and found black smoke coming from an exhaust vent and light smoke at the back of the building. The fire was contained to a large dust collector and an attack line was used to extinguish it as firefighters started removing the filters. Around 20 filters were removed to make sure the fire was out.

There were no injuries. The machine that caught fire sustained thousands of dollars worth of damage. Quint 10, Engine 5, Ladder 5, Engine 4, Squad 1, Quint 1, Ladder 1, Battalion 1, Battalion 3 (Blue Shift), CPD, HCEMS, CFD Car 45 and CFD Car 331 responded.
