Neighbor Alerts CFD To House Fire

Firefighters were able to quickly and safely stop a fire from spreading through a Chattanooga home Monday night. 

It happened just after 7 PM in the 4000 block of Loftis Street.

Neighbors across the street saw the flames and called it in.

Upon arrival by our crews, the fire was visible from the front porch and the front left corner of the house.

Quint 6 made a blitz attack to the front porch to knock down the flames and then made entry for a primary search of the residence.

At that point, other units arrived and everyone worked together to get the fire out.

Crews cut a hole in the roof for ventilation.

No one was home at the time of the blaze.

The family dog was safe in his pen in the backyard.

There were no injuries.

The cause is under investigation.

There’s damage to the front of the structure but it was contained to the front bedroom and porch.
