CFD Responds To Riverside Drive Call

There were no injuries at a Chattanooga business after a call came in about a possible commercial fire and reported explosion.

CFD responded to Brandt Industries on Riverside Drive just after 2 PM Friday.

The company cleans brass and other materials so chemicals are present in the building, prompting officials to initially call for extra manpower and members of the Special Operations team in case of a hazmat situation.

But the fire was out upon the arrival of our crews thanks to the quick actions of employees at the facility.

Firefighters spent time thoroughly examining the impacted area to make sure the fire was fully extinguished.

Again, no one was hurt. We are working to determine what exactly caused the fire.
